AMZNMediaPlayer.jar (in AMZNMediaPlayerComponent) Outdated, Causing IllegalAccessError - Needs Update for Modern Android Compatibility

The AMZNMediaPlayerComponent, specifically through its libs/AMZNMediaPlayer.jar, utilizes a very old version of ExoPlayer (identified in logs as v1.5.8, circa 2015-2016). This is causing critical runtime failures on modern Android versions and with current build environments. When attempting to play video, the application crashes , This error originates from the outdated ExoPlayer code within AMZNMediaPlayer.jar trying to interact with the system in a way that is no longer compatible.

Request:
We request an update to the AMZNMediaPlayerComponent and specifically its core AMZNMediaPlayer.jar. The embedded media player needs to be updated to a modern, compatible version (e.g., based on androidx.media3.exoplayer) to ensure stability and compatibility with Android versions and development practices prevalent in 2025 and beyond. Without this update, the component is a significant blocker for app development and maintenance.

thanks

Start by reviewing AMZNMediaPlayerComponent and its libs/AMZNMediaPlayer.jar, then reproduce the video-playback crash on a modern Android build. Trace the embedded ExoPlayer v1.5.8 compatibility failure and determine the scope of replacing or updating the player; done means playback no longer raises the reported IllegalAccessError on current Android environments.
