Exoplayer: Bug: "Failed to transform file 'classes.jar' to match attributes"

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

Issue description

Today I wanted to make a POC of muxing video&audio, and use ExoPlayer to view the output video.
All went fine, till I wanted to add ExoPlayer dependency, which caused a build error when trying to run the app.

Reproduction steps

1. Import project:

VideoAndAudioMux.zip

1. add the ExoPlay dependency:

   implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-core:2.9.5'
   implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.9.5'

2. Try to run the app.

There is no content to test. It's a build error.

Damn it's again the issue of the Java 1.8...

Had to add this:

  compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility '1.8'
        targetCompatibility '1.8'
    }

This should be the default for new projects on the IDE...
