How to play HLS (HTTPs live stream) videos on your Android TV App?

In this video it shows the steps to develop your Android TV App to play HLS (HTTPs live stream) videos.
It uses sample HLS video available at: ottverse.com/f...
During the development of this App, below error was observed in debugging:
"No suitable media source factory found for content type: 2"
This is fixed by implementing the below HLS libraries in the Gradle file.
implementation("androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-hls:1.3.0")

hi thanks for video, I upload play console, My App its rejected (below the mail) please make video this issue:::
Issue found: No full-size app banner and/or icon
Your app should contain a full-size app banner and icon that is visible in the launcher. We are targeting 1080P, which we consider xhdpi. Apps should include the banner in the xhdpi (320 dpi) drawables folder with a size of (320px × 180px) and the icon with a size of (512px x512px). Please refer to our Home screen banner.
The title should help users identify apps in the launcher. Please refer to our Visual design and user interaction documentation for more information.
Your icon does not fill the entire icon space.
thank-you

This is more to do with the images required for hosting the App on play store. They need images of different sizes which will appear on play store under your published app page. So, if it is not as per the requirement Google will not publish the App and request for the same.
Try to provide the images in the dimensions requested by the Play store.
