Any updates?

[tuvia]

Hi! I didn't get any answer. I ended up changing the plugin. Depending on what you need, there are different options. Best regards!

@tuvia Thanks for replying so fast! I want the simplest solution to keep the media playing in the background, how did you solve this issue?

[tuvia]

Check just_audio_background plugin. If you need video, you'll have to work a little bit more. I used fijkplayer with audio_service .I can share my code if you want.

Solved by requesting ignore battery optimization permission: Permission.ignoreBatteryOptimizations.request();

And added to the manifest the permissions: android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE, android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS
