[BUG] Video doesnt play (android)

[NerdyBoy-V]

History check Please confirm that you've checked issues history and you didn't find anything which may solve your issue.

Describe the bug The video doesnt play. I try to play a video from url, but it doesn't work. The videoplayer keeps loading but never plyas (or finds) the video.

*Example code import 'dart:io';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:better_player/better_player.dart'; import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

class BetterPlayerScreen extends StatefulWidget { // final String videoPath;

BetterPlayerScreen();

@override _BetterPlayerScreenState createState() => _BetterPlayerScreenState(); }

class _BetterPlayerScreenState extends State { late BetterPlayerController _betterPlayerController; late BetterPlayerDataSource _betterPlayerDataSource;

@override void initState() { super.initState(); _initializePlayer(); }

void _initializePlayer() { _betterPlayerDataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource( BetterPlayerDataSourceType.network, 'https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4', );

_betterPlayerController =
    BetterPlayerController(BetterPlayerConfiguration());
_betterPlayerController.setupDataSource(_betterPlayerDataSource);
super.initState();

}

@override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('BetterPlayer'), ), body: Center( child: AspectRatio( aspectRatio: 16 / 9, child: BetterPlayer(controller: _betterPlayerController), ), ), ); }

@override void dispose() { _betterPlayerController.dispose(); super.dispose(); } }

Same Issue occurred here. Video is always in loading state. I'm using it from last one year but this issue is causing from last 5-7 days. As we can see that MediaSource.Factory#setDrmSessionManagerProvider no longer handles null by instantiating a new DefaultDrmSessionManagerProvider. Explicitly construct and pass an instance in order to retain the old behavior. but I'm not using any DRM.
