java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method setParameters(Lcom/google/android/exoplayer2/trackselection/DefaultTrackSelector$Paramet

Question

I am facing this issue with BrightCove Video player. The player uses the exoplayer internally. When running the app the player shows only poster of the video but when clicking the play gives the below mentioned error msg. I have multiple modules implemented in the app, and 1 module is using exo player 2.17.1 and 1 module is using brightcove 6.18.6 with exo player 2.14.

E/com.brightcove.player.event.EventEmitterImpl@b1bc2d5: processEvent() threw a throwable.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method setParameters(Lcom/google/android/exoplayer2/trackselection/DefaultTrackSelector$Parameters;)V in class Lcom/google/android/exoplayer2/trackselection/DefaultTrackSelector; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.exoplayer2.trackselection.DefaultTrackSelector' appears in /data/app/~~IcHQVEM5w4IXny6I30aQ9g==/com.test.demo-upkrdit2H5SqzTzsEzy8jw==/base.apk!classes2.dex)

}


-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    @com.brightcove.player.* <methods>;
}

One of my module is using Exo player as a separate dependency and one module is using brightcove player.

Answer 1

According to the documentation need to use Brightcove Player 6.18.6 with ExoPlayer 2.14.2.

implementation "com.brightcove.player:exoplayer2:6.18.6"

It's just strange, because it's all AndroidX - and then this plugin: android-appcompat-plugin??

Answer 2

The old parameters DefaultTrackSelector took have recently been deprecated with the 2.18.0 update and your problem might be related to that change.
