Exoplayer: TS live can't play on ExoPlayer but can on android.media.MediaPLayer

[yurabuloichik]

HTTP-TS http://217.19.222.11/415/1491892262 can't play on ExoPlayer, but it can be played using android built in MediaPlayer. I tried it on plenty of devices and have no success (Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7(2012), Galaxy Tab 3 10.1).
Also I've read this issue https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1894 but setting flag FLAG_ALLOW_NON_IDR_KEYFRAMES gives no result.

I am using ExoPlayer r2.3.1 release.

Player is always in buffering state.
P.S the link provided is valid till 23.04.17, then you can update it changing last path segment to GMT - 1 hour.

Using FLAG_DETECT_ACCESS_UNITS worked for me.
