Have you tried this library with a live stream ?

[reteset]

If not then , i would advice you to try , because you assume source is a static media and has a known length but , in live stream media length is unknown

you can use following stream url to test yourself: Stream Url

i do not understand why ,i see trace of video_player lib entries in log window, since you claim that you use media_kit i have no import to media_player in my project nor , reference in pubspec file VideoPlayerController.initialize.eventListener (package:video_player/video_player.dart i am constantly receiving the following error twice on every second

Tried on : Android , IOS , Mac OS (with M1 PRO Chip)

[VERBOSE-2:dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: Bad state: Future already completed

I initialized it like below

Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  initMeeduPlayer(
    iosUseMediaKit: true,
    androidUseMediaKit: true,
  );
}

Is the one that can work with live streams, this one can't due to limitations with video_player interface

Thanks for fast reply, The flutter_meedu_media_kit is not suitable for my use either. I was using media_kit already, Preferred yours for subtitle support , I would better to get back to media_kit and implement missing parts myself.

It would be good if you place a note to package inroduction about this issue for future users of this lib It really takes time to add a lib of this type to a project and remove afterwards

Media_kit already supports subtitles, check their issues and you can use it with flutter_meedu_media_kit by using the video controller instance

I think these packages will no longer be needed after media_kit finishes the 1.0.0 release, since they will provide the needed controls and subtitles and it will be better than video_player since they will maintain the same interface/logic across platforms.

[abdelaziz-mahdy]

Sorry for any inconveniences, it's just the limitations is due to video_player interface it self

If you can add the note in pull request I would happily merge it

fixed in the new release 4.2.22
