First try restarting. If that doesn't work, try lower resolutions or a different format. The device might be claiming to support a format but can't actually do so.

Is there any resolution/codec combo that works? If not, try any combo of the 3 Exoplayer toggles in settings.

Have the same issue, but video will play if I force close the app and then start the video again.
