Media codec crash reported from IMA sdk

[krackjack234]

Hi,

We are using Android IMA sdk for ads playback. We followed the Basic example from IMA sdk to implement the ads use cases.

When we are playing preroll and repeatedly switching assets to play the next content, sometimes we see a crash as noted below.

We are releasing the ads loader on every destroy using the below code

if (mAdsLoader !=null) {
    mAdsLoader.removeAdErrorListener(this);
    mAdsLoader.removeAdsLoadedListener(this);
    mAdsLoader = null;
}

 if (adDisplayContainer != null)
     adDisplayContainer.destroy();
 if (mAdsManager != null) {
     mAdsManager.removeAdErrorListener(this);
     mAdsManager.removeAdEventListener(this);
     mAdsManager.destroy();

 }

We are seeing this crash on certain phones like Oppo and Xiaomi. It looks like 1080P decoder is getting used to play Ads and for some reason its running out of resources when we switch assets while ads are playing.

Can someone help here to understand what exactly is going wrong and how to avoid it? Is the above code the correct way to clean ads module?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Were you able to reproduce the behavior running your ad tag against our Android AdvancedExample? If yes, can you share the ad tag you were using when the issue occurred?
