Issue

Platform: Android

react-native-track-player version: 1.1.8

After upgrading from react-native-track-player version 1.1.4 -> 1.1.8, we are seeing issues with ExoPlayer, where EventListener cannot be resolved (see the crash report below). I confirmed that downgrading back to 1.1.4 resolves this particular issue. Unfortunately we are relying on some of the new features in 1.1.8, so cannot simply downgrade.

Please let me know if you have any ideas what could be causing this? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

It looks like you're using react-native-video and react-native-track-player. 1.1.8 uses a newer version from ExoPlayer, while react-native-video seems to be using an older one. It's a dependency conflict.

We're not going to downgrade ExoPlayer, sorry.

[SamiChab]

As I downgraded to version 1.1.4, it worked!
But is there another way to solve this issue?

[Guichaguri]

You can update both packages to the latest ExoPlayer version.

[SamiChab]

Yeah! I have updraded the packages to those versions:
"react-native-video": "^5.0.2"
"react-native-track-player": "^2.0.0-rc9"
It now works perfectly fine. Thanks!

@SamiChab this is not working for me :/
