exoplayer black flicker input blanking (not a jellyfin-androidtv bug) #2551

Describe the bug

I filed this under playback bugs, as I wasn't sure where else to put it. I have run into what is probably a unique issue with exoplayer. When I go to play a file (none of the files tested require transcoding), the screen will flicker black for a moment cutting off the input channel to the tv. The tv then resets and the video plays fine afterward after the 3-5 second reset of the tv losing signal. This is an older lcd tv screen. This issue does not happen with gapps/stock proprietary android system and is not a jellyfin bug (I tested with multiple applications that utilize exoplayer). Using libvlc works fine (although slightly slower to start, which is not a huge deal). So, I will keep using libvlc and/or mpv in the future if that is something planned (the findroid implementation of mpv works quite well). I just wanted to point this out in case anyone else was having a similar issue. There is no actual crash of the player and I'm unsure of whether this issue could even be fixed client-side.

Edit: Just realized a new client came out yesterday. I will test the new client and update/close this post as needed.

Edit 2: After testing new client v0.15.4 I cannot reproduce this issue. Closing thread (if issue reappears will reopen).
