Note

  • Your android app needs to be using the androidx libraries instead of the old support libraries.

Video is unavailable problem

  • Origin is already set up in the library but you will notice that some videos are not playing. This is because the video is shared as not embeddable by provider.
  • You can use YouTube Data API to solve this problem
  • Do not open an issue related to this
