In React-native-video some of the videos are not getting played in samsung devices

When expo-player is enabled, i am getting this error

[
  "on video error",
  {
    "error": {
      "errorException": "com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: com.google.android.exoplayer2.mediacodec.MediaCodecRenderer$DecoderInitializationException: Decoder init failed: OMX.Exynos.avc.dec, Format(2, null, null, video/avc, null, -1, null, [4096, 2130, 25.000002], [-1, -1])",
      "errorString": "Unable to instantiate decoder OMX.Exynos.avc.dec"
    }
  }
]

Is there is any way to get rid of this error and play the videos in samsung devices. Some of the videos are there which are not getting played in samsung devices. The same videos get played in mi devices. I have tried the same video in many samsung devices. In all of that i am getting the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

I have also tried it on the android media player. In that only the audio is getting played no video is there.

I had similar issue, only when a video is played and I wanted to start another one (or navigated to a new page where a video was autoplayed). The device was unable to reuse the codec.

In the logcat I found that:

        at org.chromium.media.MediaCodecBridgeBuilder.createVideoDecoder(chromium-TrichromeWebViewGoogle.aab-stable-475810133:6)

Also, the chrome media logs showed that:

The resolution was to unmount the video on cleanup so that the next video playing could reuse (actually use as a new) the codec.

My code there:

useEffect(() => {
    return () => {
      console.log('unmount video')
      videoRef.current?.pause()
      videoRef.current?.removeAttribute('src')
      videoRef.current?.load()
      console.log('video unmounted')
    }
  }, [videoRef])
