Bug

Below here details about this error :

below here sample that I use MediaCodecVideoRenderer to get type of render media code:

`
override fun buildVideoRenderers(
context: Context,
extensionRendererMode: Int, // @ExtensionRendererMode extensionRendererMode: Int,
mediaCodecSelector: MediaCodecSelector,
enableDecoderFallback: Boolean,
eventHandler: Handler,
eventListener: VideoRendererEventListener,
allowedVideoJoiningTimeMs: Long,
out: ArrayList
) {

    out.add(
        XaafMediaCodecVideoRenderer(
            context,
            MediaCodecSelector.DEFAULT,
            allowedVideoJoiningTimeMs,
            enableDecoderFallback,
            eventHandler,
            eventListener,
            MAX_DROPPED_VIDEO_FRAME_COUNT_TO_NOTIFY,
            playerDecoderUsedListener
        )
    )


    if (extensionRendererMode == EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_OFF) {
        return
    }

    var extensionRendererIndex = out.size
    if (extensionRendererMode == EXTENSION_RENDERER_MODE_PREFER) {
        extensionRendererIndex--
    }

    try {
        // Full class names used for constructor args so the LINT rule triggers if any of them move.
        // LINT.IfChange
        val clazz = Class.forName("com.google.android.exoplayer2.ext.vp9.LibvpxVideoRenderer")
        val constructor = clazz.getConstructor(
            Boolean::class.javaPrimitiveType,
            Long::class.javaPrimitiveType,
            android.os.Handler::class.java,
            com.google.android.exoplayer2.video.VideoRendererEventListener::class.java,
            Int::class.javaPrimitiveType
        )
        // LINT.ThenChange(../../../../../../../proguard-rules.txt)
        val renderer = constructor.newInstance(
            true,
            allowedVideoJoiningTimeMs,
            eventHandler,
            eventListener,
            MAX_DROPPED_VIDEO_FRAME_COUNT_TO_NOTIFY
        ) as Renderer
        out.add(extensionRendererIndex++, renderer)
        logI("Loaded LibvpxVideoRenderer")
    } catch (e: ClassNotFoundException) {
        // Expected if the app was built without the extension.
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        // The extension is present, but instantiation failed.
        throw RuntimeException("Error instantiating VP9 extension", e)
    }
}

override fun getDecoderInfos(
mediaCodecSelector: MediaCodecSelector,
format: Format,
requiresSecureDecoder: Boolean
): MutableList {
val all = super.getDecoderInfos(mediaCodecSelector, format, requiresSecureDecoder)
if (!context.packageManager.hasSystemFeature(AMAZON_FEATURE_FIRE_TV) && !requiresSecureDecoder) {
val googleDecoder = ArrayList()
for (info in all) {
if (info.name.contains("google") || info.name.contains("android")) {
googleDecoder.add(info)
}
}
val decoderListToUse = googleDecoder.takeIf { it.isNotEmpty() } ?: all
reportDecoderUsed(decoderListToUse)

        return decoderListToUse
    }
    reportDecoderUsed(all)
    return all
}`

@hafiz013. Not sure what you are trying to do with just your code snippet but it seems that the decoder selected does not support the format of the media you are trying to play.
