Im coding an player application for Android Tv. While testing to play videos on a nexus player device the VideoView (that is a wrapper of MediaPlayer) is giving me some strange error codes that are not documented at all in the api references. My nexus player is api 23 (android M) and i also target api 23 in my app.

Here is the log: 

10-21 15:42:59.234 29145-29145/com.test.androidapp D/MediaPlayer: getMetadata
10-21 15:42:59.259 29145-29734/com.test.androidapp E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -2147479543)
10-21 15:42:59.260 29145-29262/com.test.androidapp E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
10-21 15:42:59.265 29145-29145/com.test.androidapp E/MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147479543)
10-21 15:42:59.265 29145-29145/com.test.androidapp D/VideoView: Error: 1,-2147479543

    Try using Google's ExoPlayer instead. It is more robust: https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/ – Nick Felker Jan 13 '16 at 23:16
