Bug

I used Sentry as Error Tracking Software to trace errors in my app and there are 3 kinds of error that my users keep randomly receiving:

For Android:

1. Unable to instantiate decoder OMX.qcom.video.decoder.avc
2. Unable to instantiate decoder OMX.Exynos.avc.dec
3. Unable to connect to (Fragment of HLS video) (Unrecognized media format)

For iOS:

1. NSURLErrorDomain

• I already commented on this thread: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1664#issuecomment-514048113, and I saw this thread is still opening also: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1068

• I have used different versions of react-native-video (v4.3.1, v4.4.4, v5.0.2), I also migrated from react native 0.58.4 to 0.61.1, about 1 year has passed, but those errors are still not resolved.

• I changed multiple providers for HLS links but nothing changes (I used Vimeo, Cloudflare, …)

• I already increased the value of attribute minLoadRetryCount but it couldn’t help

Platform

• iOS
• Android ExoPlayer
