Cannot catch error of preparePlayer

[jt274]

Describe the bug When an error is thrown by controller.preparePlayer, it cannot be caught. Experiencing this on Android, have not tested on iOS.

For example, when trying to play a file in an invalid format on Android, the console shows the error:

Playback error
com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: Source error

However, a try/catch block or catchError does not fire, and the code is blocked without further execution.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run controller.preparePlayer using an invalid file
2. Try to catch error using catchError or try/catch block.
3. Catch does not work

Expected behavior Catch should catch any player errors and continue code execution.
