Disable gestures (?)

[sommye-ctr]

Does the player support turning off the gestures? I'm passing custom widget and also setting the controls style to custom but still the gestures are on.

Actually I'm trying to implement my own focusable widgets and therefore require focus childs but when passing the custom widget it the key presses are not passed to my custom widget. Is there a way to implement this?

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

where are the custom widgets located on screen?

and yes you can disable anything you dont want

example:

 enabledControls: const EnabledControls(doubleTapToSeek: false)

[sommye-ctr]

Im passing the controls in the customControls parameter.

The widget passed is a scaffold which covers the entire screen showing various components (seekbar title etc). There is also RawkeyboardListener but the events are not passed there (maybe the controls of the player doesnt allow traversal of focus?). Also I have set excludeFocus to false.

can you share an example? to be able to help you better?

since you did all the right things..

[sommye-ctr]

The top hierarchy is this and then there are just rows and columns for the widgets

` @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return RawKeyboardListener(

  focusNode: focusNode,
  onKey: _onKey,
  child: Observer(
    builder: (context) {
      if (playerStore.showControls) {
        return Stack(
          children: [
            Container(
              height: double.infinity,
              width: double.infinity,
              color: Colors.black54,
            ),
            Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
              child: Stack(
                children: [
                  Align(
                    alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
                    child: _buildHeading(),
                  ),
                  _buildProgressControlsRow(),
                  if (playerStore.buffering)
                    Center(
                      child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
                    ),
                ],
              ),
            ),
          ],
        );
      }
      return Container();
    },
  ),
);

      }

can you provide an example i can run? since i need to test it to know what the problem

[sommye-ctr]

I'll provide one in few hours

[sommye-ctr]

Hey, I think I found what is causing this. By setting excludeFocus to false, the ExcludeFocus widget here sets its excluding property to false.

But still the customWidget is passed as a descendant of ControlsContainer, here. This ControlsContainer hinders in events in rawKeyboardListener (I'm not sure how).

Maybe we could change this behavior of always passing it to the ControlsContainer to something like passing it only when ControlsStyle is not custom.

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

Do you think you can provide a pr with your idea, which does not break existing code? If you can I would love it, since I still don't get the problem

[sommye-ctr]

Also if i set enabledControls to false and then pass the widgets in the following way:

` return Stack(

  children: [
    MeeduVideoPlayer(
      controller: controller,
      customCaptionView: (context, controller, responsive, text) {
        return Container(
          color: subBackground ?? false ? Colors.black : Colors.transparent,
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(6),
          child: Text(
            text,
            style: TextStyle(
              color: Colors.white,
              fontSize: subFontSize?.toDouble() ?? 14.0,
            ),
          ),
        );
      },
    ),
    Center(
        child: Text(
      "eheyryryyry",
      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 50),
    )),
    VideoPlayerControls(
      controller: controller,
      streamUrl: streamUrl,
      stream: widget.extensionStream,
      baseModel: widget.baseModel,
      episode: widget.episode,
      season: widget.season,
      movie: widget.movie,
      show: widget.show,
      progress: widget.progress,
      id: widget.id,
      fitIndex: fitIndex,
      autoSubtitle: autoSubtitle,
      detailsStore: widget.detailsStore,
      initialDark: initalDark,
      showHistory: widget.showHistory,
    ),
  ],
);

`

The Text and my custom Controls widget appear on screen for a split second and then they are hidden. I'm not able to understand why is this happening (maybe the player is hiding them in some way?).

[sommye-ctr]

Can you identify as to why the above thing is happening?

          padding: EdgeInsets.all(6),
          child: Text(
            text,
            style: TextStyle(
              color: Colors.white,
              fontSize: subFontSize?.toDouble() ?? 14.0,
            ),
          ),
        );

    ),

);

As I requested I really need an example to work with, if you have a GitHub repo and can give me access that will help fix this

But in anyway, most probably they get hidden waiting for the calls to make them reappear

Try to set 'controls' to true, and see if they are showing

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

Also I recommend using the custom controls logic already provided by the package since it helps greatly.

Check custom controls example

[sommye-ctr]

Yeah, all the things work as expected except one thing, that is RawkeyboardListener events in the customControls widget.

So for testing, you can basically wrap the custom controls example with a rawkeyboardListener and check if its onKey method is ever called. For me, the onKey method is never called and therefore i'm unable to perform some actions, I want.

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

works as expected, keep in mind now the video_player keyboard shortcuts doesnt work since they are not getting the focus

[sommye-ctr]

I have no idea why is this not working when Im running the exact same code

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

This is why I asked for a full example, since maybe another part of the code is disabling your code

[sommye-ctr]

I think I figured out what was going wrong. Is it possible to turn off the feature where the player is automatically hiding (and showing on touch) the controls? I need to manage it on my own.

No sadly

[sommye-ctr]

Can it be implemented? Maybe you could direct me and Ill try looking into it

Check controls setter, in the controller class, you can make a variable in the controls class

For auto hiding controls and use it there
