Hi,

Our Android App crashes whenever we play Podcast in Bitmovin

Does Bitmovin support Podcast playing in Android Kotlin based implementation? I tried looking up for Sample source code but couldn’t find any in the Bitmovin Android Git hub repo

Can you please help direct me to possible solutions?

We were hoping to implement something like this but for IOS and ANdroid:

> **[HLS Audio Only Live Stream » Bitmovin Player Demo | Bitmovin](https://bitmovin.com/demos/audio-only-streaming)**
>
> Use live code to test audio only content on Bitmovin's HTML5 Video Player ➜ MP4 & MPEG-2 TS with AAC supported ✅

Regards,  
Vivek.
