Working now thank you but having a new problem
Playing a video and then minimizing the app causes a crash

I hv analysed this and it's , specifically related to the Media3 ExoPlayer library.
The key issue is:
IllegalStateException: Session ID must be unique. ID=com.mxavie.media3.service.SimpleMediaService.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Key Error:
   java.lang.IllegalStateException: Session ID must be unique. ID=com.mxavie.media3.service.SimpleMediaService
2. Fix for the Code:
   In SimpleMediaService.java (or SimpleMediaService.kt), ensure the Session ID is dynamic. Example:
   kotlin
   val sessionId = "media_session_${System.currentTimeMillis()}" // Unique ID
   val mediaSession = MediaSession.Builder(context, player)
   .setSessionId(sessionId)
   .build()
3. Release the Media Session Properly:
   Add this to onDestroy():
   kotlin
   override fun onDestroy() {
   mediaSession?.player?.release()
   mediaSession?.release()
   mediaSession = null
   super.onDestroy()
   }
4. Update the AndroidManifest.xml:
   Ensure the service is declared like this:
   xml
   
5. Test for Edge Cases:
   •
   Rapid app restarts (open/close the app multiple times quickly).
   •
   Background/foreground transitions (minimize the app while media is playing).

Hope this is helpful. 👆

Expected Behavior

The app should handle media playback without crashes, duplicate sessions, or resource leaks, ensuring a smooth and stable experience.

The SimpleMediaService should initialize and run smoothly without throwing IllegalStateException.

The app should never create multiple instances of SimpleMediaService simultaneously.

Lastly The app should recover gracefully from interruptions example incoming calls, app switches.

Start with SimpleMediaService.java or SimpleMediaService.kt and the corresponding AndroidManifest.xml service declaration. Reproduce playback followed by minimizing on Android 13, then inspect MediaSession lifecycle and session-ID handling; done means the transition no longer crashes and rapid restarts and interruptions remain stable.
