    val context = LocalContext.current
    var isFullScreen by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

    val exoPlayer = rememberExoPlayer(context)

    val mediaSource = remember(videoUri) {
        MediaItem.fromUri(videoUri)
    }

    LaunchedEffect(mediaSource) {
        exoPlayer.setMediaItem(mediaSource)
        exoPlayer.prepare()
        exoPlayer.play()
    }

    DisposableEffect(Unit) {
        onDispose {
            exoPlayer.release()
        }
    }

    Box(
        Modifier
            .focusable()
    ) {
        AndroidView(
            factory = {
                PlayerView(context).apply { useController = true }
            },
            update = { it.player = exoPlayer },
            onRelease = { exoPlayer.release() }
        )
    }

The use of the interop solution for compose (AndroidView + PlayerView) within Media3 has its limitations. However, it's hard to tell whether the problem is in the UI rendering or something is wrong with the media item.

Have you tried:

• Playing this media on both Google TV and Android TV using PlayerView alone, no Compose integration?
• Looking at the stack trace and seeing any errors?
• Attaching an EventLogger to see additional debug information that can help you (e.g. track selection, callback timings etc)

I have the same situation, sound is heard but video is not visible. I tested on Android emulator and physical device using media3.exoplayer version 1.4.0, it did not work on Android 11, it works on Android 14.

I think I have solved this problem. After downgrading androidx.tv:tv-material library from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.0-beta01, problem is in version 1.0.0. I you use this dependency androidx.tv:tv-material, downgrade it.

I am also face same issue for Android OS 14 TV devices playing the content correctly but in Android OS 11 TV devices (Ref 1.0 / 3.0) devices audio start but video frames started late rendering.

My observation is this only getting issue related with MP4 content other content format likeHLS, DASH is Playing correctly even in Android OS 11 TV devices.

androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer 1.4.1
androidx.tv:tv-material  1.0.0-alpha10

[oceanjules]

@aman-jham, could you upgrade androidx.tv:tv-material to 1.0.0-beta01 to see if it helps as @Janmurad suggested

[pai-vignesh]

Yes. Even I was facing same issue. Only audio was playing no video. This issue occurred when I updated tv-material from 1.0.0-rc01 to stable 1.0.0.

Just revert it back to 1.0.0-rc01. Its working fine.
