Full screen seek position reset during rotation

[FranciscoTavares]

Issue

• In full screen rotation the video returns to the beginning. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work.

I tested with the repository example.

@FranciscoTavares, Have you found any solution for this? I got the same issue. When changed to landscape mode, video starts from beginning.

maybe you can set the orientation of your activity ?

@gohugo I don't want to restrict user to watch video in portrait / landscape mode.

I had to use ExoPlayer and get the information from their SDK videos. I had more work but it worked.

I used the following workaround:

Inside vimeoPlayerView's addReadyListener() method, I implemented onReady() in the following way:

@Override
public void onReady(String title, float duration, TextTrack[] textTrackArray) {
                vimeoPlayerView.seekTo(startAt);
                Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
                handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        vimeoPlayerView.play();
                    }
                }, 700);
            }

Apparantly, executing vimeoPlayerView.play() after some milliseconds solves the issue.
