BufferQueue has been abandoned: When playing video with TextureView
Every time I pause my activity (actually Fragment) to go to another app, upon returning with onResume I try to resume the video playing but it does not play: I get a blank screen. Upon investigation, I see the following in the Logcat
E/BufferQueueProducer: [unnamed-23827-0] queueBuffer: BufferQueue has been abandoned
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/MediaPlayer: error (1, -38)
E/BufferQueueProducer: [unnamed-23827-0] connect(P): BufferQueue has been abandoned
Here is the code I call inside on resume
player.seekTo(mVideoSeekPosition);
player.start();
FYI: I have been trying to apply this answer to my case, but I can't: What can I do when the BufferQueue has been abandoned?
UPDATE
I struggled to go it alone, but I am still crashing. So I am posting the whole code for help
private void setupVideoPlayingSystem(View root) {
textureView = (TextureView) root.findViewById(R.id.textureView);
textureView.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);

public void onSurfaceTextureAvailable(SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, int width, int height) {
Log.d(TAG, "onSurfaceTextureAvailable");
if (null == surface) {

surface = new Surface(surfaceTexture);
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setSurface(surface);
mediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
}
/*

but for cold startup, must check mVideoUrl

Answer
I had the same problem when switched between activities and also had MediaPlayer(1971): Error (100,0). Solved it by adding these lines inside onSurfaceTextureDestroyed
@Override
public boolean onSurfaceTextureDestroyed(SurfaceTexture surface) {
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
}
return true;
}
