Error: platformException

This platformException occurs when there is an error with the video player. In your case, the specific error is “com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: Source error”.

It seems that there is an issue with the video source that you are trying to play. The source error can occur due to various reasons such as an invalid video file format, the video file being corrupted, or any other issues with the video source itself.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Make sure that the video file you are trying to play is in a supported format. Commonly supported video formats are MP4, AVI, MKV, and MOV.
  2. Ensure that the video file is not corrupted. Try playing the video on a different video player or device to check if the issue persists.
  3. Check if the video source URL or file path is correct. Make sure there are no typos or errors in specifying the source of the video.
  4. If you are using an external video library or framework, make sure it is properly integrated and up-to-date. Sometimes, outdated or incompatible versions of video libraries can lead to source errors.
  5. If possible, try using a different video source to see if the issue is specific to the current video or if it occurs with other videos as well.

Example: 

    <video src="video.mp4" controls>
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>

In the above example, “video.mp4” is the source file for the video element. Ensure that the video file exists in the specified location and is in a supported format.
