[video_player] HLS issue in video plugin

[xuelian-bai]

Platform Tizen 6.0 - Samsung The Frame 2021

We checked several streams. It seems that the problem ist not HLS v4 because this stream works

Also tested v5 - no problem.

Our streams aren't that different - but we got teletext streams - maybe that is the problem?
Or HLS Live Stream?

@mhoeckner could you please share more details about your stream? I will send this issue to HLS maintainer

[mhoeckner]

Dear @xuelian-bai

sorry for the late answer - I talked to technical guys to provide a test stream.

Please contact me via E-Mail - I will send you the HLS Stream URL without authentication.

It's HLS v4 with AAC and MP4

@mhoeckner With you test stream, we found duration is zero after player is prepared. this will cause video player crash, and I have made a PR for this issue.

The ticket has been closed - at flutter - what will be the next steps? Are you still working on this issue?
I ask because we need to know if this will work in future because of project planing - upcoming new versions - and so on :)

@mhoeckner Hello, because of this issue can't be reproduced on Android or IOS device, flutter team has not decided to accept this PR, and this video player plugin is based on MMplayer, and it will be not maintained anymore on TV device. So we are developing a new video player plugin with plus player for TV device, when we complete it, we will notify you.

@xiaowei-guan

Thank you for the information and improvements. One last question: will the new player be available on older platforms like Tizen 5.5 or only 6.0+ ?

Any update on the new video player for TV devices, and will it be able to play videos in tizen tv
emulators

[mhoeckner]

I do not think that this is possible - especially if you use DRM protected content

We will release a new video player recently, it can play video on TV device, I will let you know if it can play video on emulators soon.

DRM content can't play on emulator, but it can on TV device, just developers have to get partner level to run on TV devices.

[mhoeckner]

I'm looking forward to the new player!

Any update on playing video on emulators? Please

The new video_player plugin mentioned above is video_player_videohole, but it doesn't support emulators. There is no way to play DRM content on TV emulators. You need a real TV device.

@xuelian-bai Can we close this issue?
