All http links are treated as HSL for ExoPlayer
Describe the bug
- Make a .strm File which includes a http:// Video Link
- Play that file over Jellyfin Android and ExoPlayer
- Source error
The logic code of the Apps seems wrong for me? Not everything that is http, is automatically hsl?
Especally when it works in every other Client (Also under Android TV with ExoPlayer)

We do not support strm files in the Android clients. If they work that's great, if they don't we can't do so much about it.
But why do you assume, when its http, its always HLS?
I mean, everything works great in Android TV App, also with ExoPlayer?
When i set to the ProgressiveMediaSource Class inside "Http Protocol", it works as expected.
So my thoughts are, thinking everything what is "http" is "hls" is wrong.
Is there a reason, why you don't use "MediaSource.Factory"?
It also works fine with http links as i tried, will do more Tests for you, for HLS etc., but would be awesome, that having a working exoplayer :)
But why do you assume, when its http, its always HLS?
Probably decided due to a lack of documentation back then. MediaSource.Factory might be worth a try, but I haven't looked into it and am unaware of the implications.
The MediaSource.Factory got defined like that:
and the DefaultMediaSourceFactory has the feature like that:
I will try to do some tests, but i think it would be great and supports directly lot more stuff for the http protocol

Any feedback x planned for this. I want to be able to play strm files in integrated player.
I don't think so...
I have still my "workaround" running and crafting the URLs especally for Android App user for tricking the App
