NullPointerException in ThreadsafePlayerHater

[dts]

I'm getting an occasional crash when using this on Android, some devices it crashes 100% of the time, others it comes and goes. Here is a stack trace I was able to retrieve:

Android: 4.4.2

I found that setting a timeout for 5 seconds after the app loads, and before playing the file seemed to fix the issue. I'm using Ionic and it seems that wrapping it in $ionicPlatform.ready is not enough. Something must still be initializing when that fires.

Hi, as a workaround you can check for a null player, i.e. in class ThreadsafePlayerHater fix seekTo as follows:

public boolean seekTo(int startTime) {
    PlaylistSupportingPlayer player = getMediaPlayer();
    if (player != null) {
        player.seekTo(startTime);
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

@itibet
replace this:

@Override
    public boolean seekTo(final int startTime) {
        return new PlayerHaterTask(mHandler) {
            @Override
            protected Boolean run() {
                return mPlayerHater.seekTo(startTime);
            }
        }.get();
    }

for this?:

public boolean seekTo(int startTime) {
    PlaylistSupportingPlayer player = getMediaPlayer();
    if (player != null) {
        player.seekTo(startTime);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Dont work...
