Reproduction steps

Here is code that could help to reproduce.

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    @OptIn(UnstableApi::class)
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            val context = LocalContext.current

            val exoPlayer = remember { ExoPlayer.Builder(context).build() }

            DisposableEffect(Unit) {
                onDispose {
                    exoPlayer.release()
                }
            }

            Box(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxWidth()
                    .fillMaxHeight(0.5f) //important to have
//                    .height(500.dp) - also reproducible
                    .background(Color.Black),
                contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
            ) {
                AndroidView(
                    factory = { ctx ->
                        PlayerView(ctx).apply {
                            useController = false
                            resizeMode = AspectRatioFrameLayout.RESIZE_MODE_ZOOM
                        }
                    },
                    update = {
                        it.player = exoPlayer
                        exoPlayer.setMediaItem(
                            MediaItem.fromUri("https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4")
                        )
                        exoPlayer.playWhenReady = true
                        exoPlayer.prepare()
                    },
                )
            }
        }

We've spent days trying to understand issues we have with Android 14 devices recently.
Going back to our previous app versions doesn't fix anything, so we came up with the same conclusion as @MykolaKosianchuk , it's probably related to a recent Android patch.

[MykolaKosianchuk]

@phcannesson Yes, we found this issue and tried to reproduce it on the device without the last patch but we can't. However, once we updated the phone, the issue appeared.

We have the same problem. We had already observed this in the QPR but unfortunately did not create an issue. Interestingly, we "only" have the problem if we use the AndroidView (which creates the PlayerView) in an if block, i.e. the composable is not called immediately.

Please can you test this? It would help us to debug if we know whether it can be reproduced in the demo app.

Is this true for everyone else that has commented on this bug? Is everyone else experiencing this only in Compose contexts, or also in conventional views? This looks like it might be a duplicate of #1123 but it's interesting to hear that the behaviour changes between Android 14 before the March 5th update and after it.

On our side we're using Compose.
We did not test with conventional views.

I have faced exact same issue, except I was using resizeMode with fixed height.
I addition I have noticed that the video gets right aspect ratio after I switched orientation to landscape and then back to portrait.

@icbaker It is not reproducible in the demo app
Looks like it is related to the compose

[speedclaud]

Hi @icbaker , I was also not able to reproduce the issue on your demo app on Pixel 7, Android 14, march 5th update, but we have the issue in our compose app using AndroidView. The issue is present in this sample app that uses compose, (press on the "Exo PlayerView" button):

compose-media.zip

This is what it looks like:
