Reproduction steps

Try to play the attached file through Exoplayer on a Chromebook.

The code used:

Uri video = Uri.parse(videoUrl);
MediaItem mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(video);
 player = new ExoPlayer.Builder(getContext()).build();

playerView.setPlayer(player);
player.setMediaItem(mediaItem);
player.setSeekParameters(SeekParameters.EXACT);

player.addListener(new Player.Listener() {
            @Override
            public void onIsPlayingChanged(boolean isPlaying) {
                updatePlayButtonState(true);
                scrubberView.updateProgressBar();
            }

 @Override
            public void onIsLoadingChanged(boolean isLoading) {
                scrubberView.updateProgressBar();
            }

@Override
            public void onPlaybackStateChanged(@Player.State int state) {
                if (state == Player.STATE_READY) {
                    // update positions of time stamps and maximum value of rotary scrubber
                    if (!mScrubbersReady) {
                        scrubberView.setUpScrubbers();
                        mScrubbersReady = true;
                    }
                }
                else if (state == Player.STATE_ENDED) {
                    pauseVideoPlayer();
                }
                else if (state == Player.STATE_BUFFERING) {
                    //Log.d("BUFFERING", "position: " + player.getCurrentPosition());
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onSurfaceSizeChanged(int width, int height) {
                // ToDo: figure out what to do with the size of the draw view.
                setupView();
            }
        });

        player.setPlaybackSpeed(SettingsManager.getPlaybackSpeedFloat(getContext()));
        player.setPlayWhenReady(viewModel.getPlayWhenReady());
        player.seekTo(currentItem, playbackPosition);
        player.prepare();

        scrubberView.setPosition(playbackPosition);

Expected result

Like with Android smartphones and tablets, it should play just fine. For example using the Google Pixel Tablet, Galaxy Note 5, Pixel 4a, Pixel 7 pro, etc. all work.

Actual result

The screen remains black, the video never plays, even though it finds the video file. The duration it finds is also incorrect (saying it is 8 seconds long when the video is actually 13 seconds). There is no crash log or stacktrace.

EDIT: On some occasions it does call Exoplayer's onPlayerError. The PlaybackExceptionError reads

androidx.media3.exoplayer.ExoPlaybackException: MediaCodecVideoRenderer error, index=0, format=Format(1, null, null, video/avc, avc1.640032, -1, null, [1080, 2340, 61.20777, ColorInfo(BT709, Limited range, SDR SMPTE 170M, false, 8bit Luma, 8bit Chroma)], [-1, -1]), format_supported=NO_EXCEEDS_CAPABILITIES

This is just a video I had downloaded off of Youtube for testing purposes. There's other videos that end up having the same issue.
