so basically my implementation is working fine for the below test m3u8 urls

• a -> https://devstreaming-cdn.apple.com/videos/streaming/examples/bipbop_4x3/bipbop_4x3_variant.m3u8
• b -> https://cph-p2p-msl.akamaized.net/hls/live/2000341/test/master.m3u8

here is the implementation

private fun initExo(url: String) {
    layoutVideoWidgetBinding!!.exoVideoPlayer.visible()
    layoutVideoWidgetBinding!!.loaderLa.gone()
    exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Builder(layoutVideoWidgetBinding!!.root.context).build()
    exoPlayer?.playWhenReady = true
    layoutVideoWidgetBinding!!.exoVideoPlayer.player = exoPlayer

    val defaultHttpDataSourceFactory = DefaultHttpDataSource.Factory()
    val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(url)
    val mediaSource =
        HlsMediaSource.Factory(defaultHttpDataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(mediaItem)


    exoPlayer?.apply {
        setMediaSource(mediaSource)
        seekTo(playbackPosition)
        playWhenReady = playWhenReady
        prepare()
        addListener(playbackStateListener)
    }
}

but its not working for my own URL whose content is below, but it is working fine when i use it via VLC and on web:
