In order to help you with that we need more information about the actual problem. Please provide example media, used devices, ExoPlayer version and a bugreport as requested in the issue template.

tonihei !

there is no info that i can give to you.
EXOPLAYER isnt playing some channels *mostly HD channels, I saw some problems like this and all answers were to add some FLAGS on EXO.

Flags are at this website https://google.github.io/ExoPlayer/faqs.html
on this section.

But the problem is that i dont know how to add them.
Do you know how to add these FLAGS on exo ?( FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES and FLAG_DETECT_ACCESS_UNITS )

[tonihei]

As noted in the FAQ article you linked, you can use setTsExtractorFlags in the DefaultExtractorsFactory.
And you can set the extractors factory when creating your media source (e.g. with ExtractorMediaSource.Factory.setExtractorsFactory).

Can we contact in any other ways ( whatsapp or anything else) ?
I really dont get how to put this.

[tonihei]

In your code above:

DefaultExtractorFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory();
extractorsFactory.setTsExtractorFlags(/* your flags here */);
return new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(
         new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(mHandler.userAgent))
     .setExtractorsFactory(extractorsFactory)
     .createMediaSource(uri);

[tonihei]

Unfortunately, we don't have time to debug your code. Please try to set the extractor flags as in my post above.

[littlelitleStar]

oh., I thought you could do this.

[littlelitleStar]

Does anyone else , can give some HELP ?

[littlelitleStar]
