@PrasannaSundar i have change the whole code.. that code was not creating the surface to display video...u can use this code if it helpful to you. – Shikha Ratra Aug 17 '16 at 07:00
-
@ShikhaRatra Thanks! Even I have the same surface changing issue, but I am using TIF where surface will be given to me with interface. Is the surface null for you? was it the problem? – Prasanna Sundar Aug 17 '16 at 07:02
-
@PrasannaSundar yes..the surface was not creating in that code that's y only audio is playing..i have added the comment in the code from where you can start changing the code...are you using the exoplayer in the recyclerview – Shikha Ratra Aug 17 '16 at 07:06
-
Nope, its complicated, its the view of another activity where only surface will be given to me. I am using Tv Input Framework. But I am using exoplayer for drawing over surface – Prasanna Sundar Aug 17 '16 at 07:07

I was also getting same issue few days back, now posting it here so that it can make someone's life easy since this problem appears very often when we use Exoplayer with RecyclerView.
Cause of the issue (in my case):
PlayerView was getting changed every time I came on the screen (due to the presence of RecyclerView)
I handled it by setting the player each time on the PlayerView object inside showLivePlayer() method which is called each time recycler view enabled screen opens to play the video.
public void showLivePlayer(PlayerView playerView, String videoURL, String tokenURL, ProgressBar progressBar){
mPlayerView = playerView;
if(player != null)
mPlayerView.setPlayer(player); //THIS IS THE FIX
mProgressBar = progressBar;
//register event bus
if (!EventBus.getDefault().isRegistered(this))
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
shouldAutoPlay = true;
bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter();
mediaDataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(mContext,
Util.getUserAgent(mContext, mContext.getString(R.string.app_name)), bandwidthMeter);
window = new Timeline.Window();
getLiveVideoToken(tokenURL, videoURL);
}
