any idea, why this is happening, continuously i am getting above logs repeateadly..

even i'm using in built LoadControl itself.

ISSUE: start a playback, after few hours , sometime with in an hour, video is freezing and buffering is observed( very fast).

i am playing live stream.

Hi @amit12kumardish,

Could you lease provide media we can use to reproduce the issue? Thanks!

[amit12kumardish]

I don't think there's issue with media, since on replaying same live channel, issue is not there.

I'm playing live content so wasn't able to capture the content when issue happened.

Also, I have one question, in my stream eac3 audio comes randomly, sometime comes sometime doesn't

Is there a way I can tell player to not consider eac3 tracks itself.

@amit12kumardish，

I think it would be helpful if you send us the media with this issue, as well as the bug report.

[marcbaechinger]

I think usually this happens when the load control decides to not further load media while the buffer size is below 500ms. This can for instance happen if the load control doesn't have additional memory to allocate for some reasons.

I think this can be fixed by configuring the load control to fit to the media played, or by setting DefaultLoadControl.Builder.setPrioritizeTimeOverSizeThresholds(true).

It's worth a try.

[amit12kumardish]

ok @marcbaechinger will give it a try

[bennettpeter]

Thi problem occurs with files that have an incomplete/invalid second audio track. The file plays with vlc successfully but with exoplayer has the error "Target buffer size reached with less than 500ms of buffered media data.". Sometimes it crashes after that with an exception "Loading finished before preparation is complete". or "Playback stuck buffering and not loading".

Here is a sample file

I have a work-around that disables the bad track and restarts playback after getting an exception. Let me know if you want the details.
