Interstitial ad breaks due to exoplayer

[Osiceanu Daniel]

Hello,

I play a reward ad and an interstitial ad for 7-12 times and I get the error down below after I close the interstitial ad. After this error, the reward ad gets affected too - it 

- either stops loading completely, failing with ERROR_CODE 0 (which is an internal error).

- or it gets loaded and works, but the video is replaced by an empty black rectangle.

I've used: 

- test admob IDs

- implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.2.0'

- OnePlus A6013, Android 10

The error is the following:

2021-07-15 13:11:54.607 16098-17653/com.quiz.wcqcfam E/ACodec: Unable to instantiate codec 'OMX.qcom.video.decoder.avc' with err 0xfffffff4.
