Reproduction steps

1. Use PlayerView inside of a LazyRow. I've included my code below for initializing it.
2. Use an ExoPlayer where the media isn't connected yet. I'm simulating this using an RtspMediaSource and passing it an invalid URL so that it never connects.
3. When the PlayerView is scrolled offscreen, it blocks the main thread for several seconds and throws ExoTimeoutException: Detaching surface timed out.

I've tried this with using the new update and onReset callbacks for AndroidView, and tried it without, and the error happens in both cases. However, the error doesn't happen if the video is successfully playing, so I'm guessing it's related to the initialization logic of the player or renderer, where it's expecting something to be initialized when the surface is detached, but it isn't initialized yet.

MyCameraTile Composable:

AndroidView(
    modifier = Modifier
        .matchParentSize()
        .padding(camPad),
    factory = { ctx ->
        PlayerView(ctx).apply {
            hideController()
            useController = false
            setShowBuffering(PlayerView.SHOW_BUFFERING_NEVER)
            resizeMode = AspectRatioFrameLayout.RESIZE_MODE_FIT
            layoutParams = FrameLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
        }
    },
    update = { view ->
        view.player = tile.player
    },
    // Allows view reuse by LazyList.
    onReset = { view ->
        // I've tried setting the player to null here and the error still happens.
    },
    onRelease = { view ->
        // I've tried setting the player to null here and the error still happens.
    }
)

Expected result

No error should be thrown.

Actual result

It throws the following error:

Hi Daniel,

Would it be possibly for you to provide a minimal MainActivity.kt that shows LazyRow initialization, Player intialisation and setting of the MediaItems. I tried to reproduce the issue, but I run into issues way before I am able to swipe the videos off the screen.

Perhaps you are preparing too many Players or are trying to reuse the same Player inefficiently? Perhaps it's how you use LazyRow's item keys. Or given that the mediaItem is never fetched, PlayerView doesn't know the size of the video and hence creates a 0-pixel item, sending you into an infinite row-creation? These are just some thoughts, would be nice to debug your particular case.
