Direct-Play Crashing on Fire TV Stick 4K Max

[caesarvis]

Bug

I have several Fire Sticks. The one having the recurring issue is a "Fire TV Stick 4K Max". When playing some movies, it will randomly fail doing direct-play, fall back to transcoding and will usually only play for about a second and then crash completely. It will repeatedly do this in the same parts of the movie. I tried the same part of the same movie on a "Fire TV Stick 4K" and it direct-plays with absolutely no problem. Below is a snippet of the log file from when it happens.

This looks like a codec failure of that given device. As you say it seems to work on other devices.

Best would be to talk to Amazon of course as this ideally would be fixed on the device OS that is built with AOSP but isn't really Android.

Can you let me know what direct-play, is? What specific player setup do you mean when you say direct-play?

Sorry, "Direct Play" is a Plex thing where it uses ExoPlayer but streams the video as it exists on the storage, without altering, transcoding, etc.

The issue I'm having is completely identical to the issue several people mention in Issue #10285.

Hi @caesarvis, since you are facing this issue on an Amazon device, can you create an issue in our repo giving detailed steps to reproduce the issue: https://github.com/amzn/exoplayer-amazon-port/issues We will be able to help debug this issue further.
