Android Question SimpleExoplayerView Help

[Luis Felipe Andrade]

Hello I have a kiosco app working with 3 images jpg and a short test video mp4 in the same region of the screen, I combine images and videos depending on the duration time configured in a database, I have noticed that after a few minutes or hours simpleexoplayerview does not play the video and the next time it does, and the next time it does not and so on, I will appreciate if you can help me, thank you

Tip: never use File.DirDefaultExternal. If you really need to load from the secondary storage then use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal.

Make sure not to create a new player each time. I would have used SimpleMediaManager for such task. It will reuse the views whenever possible.
