Failed to resolve: com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer- smoothstreaming:2.9.1

I am trying to create a simple video player android app with exoplayer.

I found a couple of examples like:

https://github.com/brianwernick/ExoMedia/?

https://github.com/ayalus/ExoPlayer-2-Example?

https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer?

However when I try to build and run the projects, I keep getting the same error:

Failed to resolve: com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer- smoothstreaming:2.9.1 Install Repository and sync project
Open File Show in Project Structure dialog

I am using the latest version of the android studio and when click on "Install Repository and sync project" It gives the following error message:

"Could not find dependency "com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-smoothstreaming:2.9.1""

I don't know how to solve the problem. If you can share a simple player example that can also work for me.

With Google sunsetting jcenter in 2022, exoplayer now has to install exclusively from Google Maven, aka google, which is also the recommended way to install according to their Github page.

It appears however some older versions of exoplayer, e.g. v2.9.x, only exists on jcenter. This could be a problem if your app is migrating away from jcenter as Google recommended. The problem would easily go away if you install exoplayer's latest version, v15.

My suggestion is if you are already considering deprecating the old jcenter, you might as well update exoplayer to its latest version.

the exoplayer dependency should now be available on jcenter(). Please let us know if you still run into any issues. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120759347#comment97.

I think that you missed type for your dependency :

       <dependency>
            <groupId>com.google.android.exoplayer</groupId>
            <artifactId>exoplayer-smoothstreaming</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.1</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

You should also add a repo that contain this artifact (maven.google.com for example) to your repositories in order to fetch it.

   <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>android-studio</id>
            <url>https://maven.google.com</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

for gradle refer to https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer

Changing the gradle file as follows solved the problem

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://google.bintray.com/exoplayer/' }
        maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools' }
        maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/firebase/gradle/' }
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }
    }

}
