[FEATURE REQUEST] Flag to prevent download or streaming of videos on start #903

Open jvenki opened 8 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Even though there is a flag to disable autoPlay, I believe the video is gettig downloaded in the background. I have 100s of videos rendered on a screen and the view becomes unresponsive at start. Is there a way I prevent download of videos till they are PLAYED.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like a flag to control this behaviour of downloading videos. It makes sense when there is only 1 video that we are downloading and keeping it ready. Not really required when the page has many videos. Therefore I would recommend having a flag to disable download just like autoPlay.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context I did come across https://github.com/sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter/issues/569, but not sure how to use it.

Is the expectation that we have to invoke YoutubePlayer.getThumbnail without building YoutubePlayer. On click on the image, we then insert the YoutubePlayer into the widget tree?
