Document most common ExoPlaybackException causes

[laurafuente]

My request is to set a more intelligent error management instead of always launching a ExoPlaybackException. This makes very difficult to shown information to the user about the player error.
The ideal solution was to return different error codes for different errors to know the cause of the error

Does the cause returned by e.getCause() contain the information you need? (See the javadoc for ExoPlaybackException.)

[laurafuente]

Hi Andrew, with the cause I can get some information in some cases surfing the code. But probably it's more user friendly to have a list with the different kinds of errors I can get from the player.

As per #1552, it's not possible to provide a complete list of errors, but I agree it would be useful to have documentation listing the most common/important exceptions. I'll use this issue to track adding the documentation. Thanks!

[laurafuente]

Hi,
Let me know when that documentation is available, please
Thanks Andrew

It's been a while, but one way to address this finally would be to implement a more comprehensive ErrorMessageProvider, like the one in the demo app.

This will be addressed by PlaybackException.errorCode in 2.15.
