I've been banging my head on the wall for a few days now with MediaPlayer. After many hours of deliberation I decided to check the video player on lollipop devices and it is NuPlayer. Currently I have a RecyclerView of Video objects that all use a MediaPlayer what is frustrating is that on a Samsung S6 device the UI will lock up and freeze after scrolling down or up a list.

My hunch was that it was having issues preparing and recycling the MediaPlayer object. After trying out everything programmatically to solve the issue what really seems to resolve it is is disabling NuPlayer in the developer settings, when using AwesomePlayer everything works fine, albeit just a little slower.

Is there any way to disable NuPlayer programmatically on specific devices?

  • I am looking for a way to use AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer as well. Have you found any way of telling MediaPlayer to use it or prefer it instead? – Flyview Jan 16 '16 at 15:44
  • @AndyRoid were you able to resolve it? – WISHY Apr 18 '22 at 06:03
