If there is an error reading a TS file I actually don't see why trying again should give a different result.

ExoPlayer handles this in the same way as any other bad media and exits with a playback exception.

I don't think we will introduce a retry from within thelibrary. An app can do such a retry mechanism on it's own when the playback error callback is called.

[LiuDeng]

For a ts file error in the m3u8, Chome and iOS AVPlayer will automatically skip the error ts and play the next correct ts instead of reporting an error and quitting.

Hello, did you manage to solve this problem?

See comment above also.

If this is a live stream, I'd try to catch the error and call prepare() again to restart playback.
