Hide "Can't play this video." Alert for Xamarin Android VideoView Player

I'm building an app with Xamarin Forms that incorporates a live stream. I'm using the FormsVideoLibrary specified here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/custom-renderer/video-player/

When the live stream is active, the stream plays fine and I have no issues. However, when the live stream isn't active, I get an annoying "Can't play this video" display alert only on android devices. Is there a way I can hide this alert or catch the error that's thrown when the live stream isn't active?

try to add the SetOnErrorListener in your VideoPlayerRenderer and overwire the OnError method,let it return true;

like :

 class VideoPlayerRenderer : ViewRenderer<VideoPlayer, Android.Widget.RelativeLayout>,MediaPlayer.IOnErrorListener
 {

    protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<VideoPlayer> e)
    {
         ....
         videoView.SetOnErrorListener(this);
    }

    public bool OnError(MediaPlayer mp, [GeneratedEnum] MediaError what, int extra)
    {
        return true;
    }
 }
