Issue with HLS playback

[dinesh1301]

I tried playing hls videos using kohii and exoplayer, found the following error. After researching I found that this bug was fixed in latest version(2.12.x) of exoplayer however currently kohii does not support 2.12.x. Is there a way out of this? Is it possible to support (2.12.x) exoplayer or find a possible fix for this issue.

@dinesh1301 The latest Kohii version is compatible with 2.11.8. 2.12.x is not supported yet. I plan to wait and go to support 2.13.x directly. Please use the 2.11.8 dependency for your app for now.

@eneim we have found out that the issue happens when there is HLS stream which uses byte-range. Is there a bug in kohii or exoplayer related to this?

We are really stuck here. I would appreciate if we can get some resolution here.

Also 2.13.x is released so would be great to see kohii updated to support that. It might solve this issue.
