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?
