I have implemented the ExoPlayer in my application using the example from the Codelab : https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/exoplayer-intro/#3, algo with the example from https://medium.com/google-exoplayer/playing-ads-with-exoplayer-and-ima-868dfd767ea, the only difference is that I use AdsMediaSource instead of the deprecated ImaAdsMediaSource.
My Implementation is this:
class HostVideoFullFragment : Fragment(), AdsMediaSource.MediaSourceFactory {
override fun getSupportedTypes() = intArrayOf(C.TYPE_DASH, C.TYPE_HLS, C.TYPE_OTHER)
override fun createMediaSource(uri: Uri?, handler: Handler?, listener: MediaSourceEventListener?): MediaSource {
@C.ContentType val type = Util.inferContentType(uri)
return when (type) {
C.TYPE_DASH -> {
DashMediaSource.Factory(
DefaultDashChunkSource.Factory(mediaDataSourceFactory),
manifestDataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(uri, handler, listener)
}
C.TYPE_HLS -> {
HlsMediaSource.Factory(mediaDataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(uri, handler, listener)
}
C.TYPE_OTHER -> {
ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(mediaDataSourceFactory)
.createMediaSource(uri, handler, listener)
}
else -> throw IllegalStateException("Unsupported type for createMediaSource: $type")
}
}

The ad never shows and if it shows it shows a rendering error E/ExoPlayerImplInternal: Renderer error. which never allows the video to show. I've run the examples from the IMA ads https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/android/ example code and it doesn't work neither. Does anyone have implemented the Exo Player succesfully with the latest ExoPlayer library version?
Please Help. Thanks!
The problem is that the emulator can not render videos. Therefore it wasn't showing the ads or the video. Run the app on a phone and it will work
