[madhurkapadia]

I have two exoplayer instance in which one i'm playing content and particular adpoints i'm playing advertise but when i am trying multiple MID ads exo player doesn't play the ad videos, it goes to PREPARING STATE and doesnt reach BUFFERING or END STATE, it happens after playing 2 ads repeatedly on 3rd AD and it gives below error:

The stack trace is likely unrelated (see #426).

More information is needed to diagnose this. Can you reproduce the failure to complete preparation when playing the same media in the demo app? Please attach a bug report or send it to dev.exoplayer@gmail.com.
