[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(); } }

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

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.
