Viewbinding within Android and Exoplayer

I'm using Android Exoplayer in one of my Fragment. Within Exoplayer I use a custom control layout"@layout/custom_player" for the controls. I have different elements within the layout for example I have a button element"optionBtn" which I want to connect to onclicklistener from my Kotlin code. Unfortunately that doesn't go very smoothly with view binding.

This is the XML Exoplayer

  <com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
        android:id="@+id/playerVIew"
        app:resize_mode="fill"
        android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
        app:controller_layout_id="@layout/custom_player"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>

This is the kotlin code

...
        private var binding: FragmentVideoBinding? = null
        private var btnsheetOptions: SheetOptionsBinding? = null
        private var sheetDialog: BottomSheetDialog? = null
        private var customPlayer: CustomPlayerBinding? = null
        
        override fun onCreateView(
            inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
            savedInstanceState: Bundle?
        ): View {

            btnsheetOptions = SheetOptionsBinding.inflate(inflater, null, false)
            sheetDialog = BottomSheetDialog(requireContext(), R.style.BottomSheetDialogTheme)
    
            binding = FragmentVideoBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
            customPlayer = CustomPlayerBinding.inflate(inflater, binding!!.root, true)
            
            return binding!!.root
    
        }
    
        override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
   
            val simpleExoPlayer = SimpleExoPlayer.Builder(requireContext()).build()
            binding!!.playerVIew.player = simpleExoPlayer
            val mediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(video.toString())
            simpleExoPlayer.addMediaItem(mediaItem)
            simpleExoPlayer.prepare()
            simpleExoPlayer.playWhenReady = true
    
    
            customPlayer!!.optionBtn.setOnClickListener {
    
               ...
    
            }
    
        }
    
    
    
        override fun onDestroy() {
            super.onDestroy()
            binding = null
            btnsheetOptions = null
            sheetDialog= null
            customPlayer = null
        }
    
    }
...

This way the layout is double-inflated on top of each other and one layout works with onclick listener and the other does not, which is not very useful.

Does anyone know the correct solution for this, I've been working on this for almost all afternoon.
