sadly this release breaks a lot of things for me. a lot of media is unable to play (too many errors. giving up) it works with libvlc (audio delay) but not with exoplayer. the previous version worked flawlessly.

edit: google chromecast with androidtv 4k

Apparently they replaced ExoPlayer in this release.

Replace ExoPlayer with androidx.media3

I'd suggest you file an issue.

I think someone already did:

...and 0.16.4 is out now to hopefully fix this issue, which the dev has diagnosed as being due to tunneling.

Oh same here. It broke exoplayer and it took me a long time investigating until I found this article quite by accident. ☹️

If you file a bug report please do post it here. I'm using MX player which has other problems I'd like to avoid.

Thank you for highlighting this. A few things have had issues playing today and I could not think why.

My TV just updates apps automatically, so I don't get that chance to put the possible cause and effect together.

0.16.4 has now been released hot on the heels of 0.16.3.
