Is it possible to play .avi format on ExoPlayer 2.0.
Due to FrameworkSampleSource are removed, are there any other way to play it?

No, this is not supported in V2. Someone would have to implement an ExoPlayer AVI extractor. It's unclear there's really any significant demand for it, however.

Any updates on this? This should be bumped up.
The fact that AVI format is horribly outdated and nobody should use it is not going to deter our simple minded users! ~7% of the files that my users try to play every day are AVI. With 20k DAU, this is insane. I get at least one 1-star review everyday specifically about this.

We are getting 1 star from users for these videos formats. Please provide the support for avi, flv, wmv and mpg formats.

@AshishPsaini Don't use exoplayer, there are too many errors in this library, even worse than the videoview

if they didn't care to add it in the last 4 years, and even marked it as "low priority" (2 years ago) there is ZERO chances they will implement an avi extractor. I say this as I know how google works 🙃 .

Although it is not commonly used for streaming, it is still very common in trail cams, lower end dash cams and drones. I don't know how many people I've told to install VLC over the years.

It's very common in archived video. Everything older is avi.

Because they think no one needs it even though we all keep saying we do

To clarify, we do understand there's some demand and value to implementing this. As is the case with most widely used open source projects, we receive far more requests than we're able to handle, and we need to prioritize what we work on fairly ruthlessly. This feature is not important enough for us to work on at this point in time.
We accept open source contributions, and would accept a high quality pull request that adds an AVI extractor. ExoPlayer is also extensible enough such that you could implement an AVI extractor and inject it into the player from your own codebase. In other words, the direct development team are not the _only_ group of people who could add support for this.

I'll have some time this summer to work on it. I have a lot of experience
with different containers and I've read the AVI and OpenDML spec. Based on
my personal library, it looks like the primary codecs are MJPEG/PCM and
H263 (xvid) and AC3. Both combos have challenges with ExoPlayer/stock
Android. There are also a ton of trail cams out there that still use AVI.
I'm not sure what they are using. My neighbor has one, I'll get some
samples...
