Cmcd.Factory causes exception upon track change

[mikef-dk]

Version

Media3 1.2.0

More version details

Following the release of androidx.media3 v1.2.0 we tried to enable the CMCD with the default configuration via MediaSource.Factory#setCmcdConfigurationFactory(CmcdConfiguration.Factory.DEFAULT). While it seems to work during regular playback, a crash occurs once a different track (e.g. Audio track) is selected via the UI. Following the stacktrace:

Playback error

The reason for this seems to be a negative bufferedDurationUs that is passed to the CmcdData.Factory and I assume the reason for this crash cannot be fixed by the client.

Other than that: The issue can be reproduced with the demo app once CMCD is enabled. Version 1.1.x does have the same issue.

Devices that reproduce the issue

Reproducable on all physical devices and emulators I tested it on

Devices that do not reproduce the issue

No response

Reproducible in the demo app?

Yes

Reproduction steps

Pre-requisite: Set CMCD configuration during setup of MediaSourceFactory, e.g. add the following line

.setCmcdConfigurationFactory(CmcdConfiguration.Factory.DEFAULT)

to the end of the setup within PlayerActivity#createMediaSourceFactory.

1. Open demo app
2. Open Widevine DASH (MP4, H264) dropdown
3. Select HD (cbcs)
4. Click on "SELECT TRACKS"
5. Select 320 x 142, 0.77 Mbps tracks
6. Observe player

Expected result

Playback continues/starts with selected track

Actual result

"Playback failed" is displayed. Clicking on "Play" button starts/resumes playback with selected track
