SubtitleDecoderException appears to prevent the video from starting #6885
Description
I'm using ExoPlayer 2.10.8. When I set a bad subtitle, playback fails. Is there a way to make subtitles not do that? Exception below.
Also, is it possible to set subtitles on the fly without restarting the player?
Thanks.
E/ExoPlayerImplInternal: Playback error.
