Devices that do not reproduce the issue

No response

Reproducible in the demo app?

Yes

Reproduction steps
  1. Add Charles proxy support in the project or install an ad blocker or any another tool that blocks ads urls such as imasdk.googleapis.com
  2. Add the ad creative domains in Charles's blocklist imasdk.googleapis.com
  3. Start media playback with preproll ad
Expected result

The player shouldn't be blocked and the playback should be started or we should get some error callback notifying why the player is stuck

Actual result

The player is blocked , the playback has not started and we don't receive any callback on this state.
For information, the issue can be reproduced on media 3 sample app easily. On our application, we estimate that a few thousands of our users are facing the issue and they remain blocked when they try to start a playback.
