Live Streaming URL is crashing the app after a few seconds of play

[Qayoommaymon]

Thanks Hitesh to you & all your team for sharing code of much sought windows flutter library. I would like your kind review/suggestion on an issue faced using the dart_vlc library. I have used the library in Flutter Windows Movies app to show both the network (URL based) movies and the live streaming contents. The dart_vlc player is working fine for the network hosted content however its not working for the live streaming contents. The player crashes while playing the live stream after a few seconds of play.

Note: The internet connection is working fine for the same contents when played on the web browser & mobile app (using the better_player).

The error screens of the player crash are also attached for your review and suggestion. Below is the code snippet used for playing the contents using the dart_vlc:

import 'package:dart_vlc/dart_vlc.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_native_view/flutter_native_view.dart';
import 'dart:ffi';
import 'package:ffi/ffi.dart';
import 'package:win32/win32.dart';

class DartVLCPlayerWindows extends StatefulWidget {
  final playImage;
  final playURL;
  final title;
  final bool liveStream;
  DartVLCPlayerWindows({
    Key key,
    this.title,
    this.playImage,
    this.playURL,
    this.liveStream,
  }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  DartVLCPlayerWindowsState createState() => DartVLCPlayerWindowsState();
}

class DartVLCPlayerWindowsState extends State<DartVLCPlayerWindows> {
  final controller = NativeViewController(
    /// Using [FindWindow] from `package:win32` to retrieve `HWND` as [int].
    handle: FindWindow(nullptr, 'VLC Media Player'.toNativeUtf16()),
    /// Make the [NativeView] interactable.
    hitTestBehavior: HitTestBehavior.translucent,
  );

  Player videoPlayer = Player(
    id: 7,
    videoDimensions: VideoDimensions(640, 360),
    registerTexture: false
  );


  @override
  void initState() {
    loadVideoPlayer();
    setAudioTrack();
    super.initState();
  }

  loadVideoPlayer() {
    print(widget.playURL);
    videoPlayer.open(
        Media.network(widget.playURL),
        autoStart: true
    );
  }

  void setAudioTrack() async {
    await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 10));
    videoPlayer.setAudioTrack(1);
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    videoPlayer.dispose();
    controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return NativeVideo(
      player: videoPlayer,
      height: double.infinity,
      width: double.infinity,
      fit: BoxFit.contain,
      showControls: true,
      liveStream: widget.liveStream,
    );
  }
}

@Qayoommaymon try this!

  bool  playBackisPlaying = false;
desktopController?.playbackStream.listen(desktopStateListener);
      desktopController?.bufferingProgressStream.listen((double  value) {
        if(playBackisPlaying && value != 0.0){
          isPlaying.value = true;
        }else{
          isPlaying.value = false;
        }
      });
 dynamic desktopStateListener(PlaybackState state) {
    playBackisPlaying = state.isPlaying;
  }
