[imrankst1221]

I was trying to run the project at Android Studio 4.1.1 but it's got a runtime exception.

I was able to reproduce same with android emulator, Do we have to set some logo? in order to claasy sample?

[IanGClifton]

Can you verify that the device both has an internet connection and is set to the correct time? That error looks like the device failed to fetch the channel logo.

I have the same issue
E/PreviewChannel: Logo for preview channel (ID:-1) not found. java.io.FileNotFoundException: content://android.media.tv/channel/-1/logo

[TheScriptan]

This is still happening in the official Google Codelab.

To reproduce, clone tv-recommendations-kotlin sample, run step_final and observe the logcat. My blind guess would be that PreviewChannel.Builder() fails to fetch given URI image

Hey folks!

I went into the same issue today, and as @IanGClifton suggested, I had a look at the operating system's date and time. For some reason, the emulator can't set the date and time properly when "Automatic date and time" is "On".

@TheScriptan have you checked your device's date and time?

@bhrashmi14 I can try to repro. Can you give me more details about your setup?
