Media3 ExoPlayer MediaCodecVideoRenderer Error

Question

I have implemented a program to play an RTSP client using Media3's ExoPlayer.

I used Google's example code without modification, and the program seemed to work perfectly.

However, occasionally, video playback stops and the following error logs are printed.

I have searched online but couldn't figure out why this error occurs. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Below is a portion of the error logs.
