Steps to reproduce

1.. launch the app in debug mode

Expected results

the video to load and run properly

Actual results

The app crashes immediately when run on the emulator, but it runs fine on a physical device.
The app used to work fine with no changes made to this code recently.
This issue seems to be related to the implementation of the video_player package and impeller

by the way I observed a similar issue on a physical device where the video wouldn't load a few weeks ago

The code sample you provided contains third party implementation which we can't debug. Please provide us minimal but complete reproducible code sample without third party packages that still replicates the reported behavior.

Thanks for your answer,

By third party package, did you mean flutter_riverpod ? it's wrapping the widget and shoudn't impact the behavior
Here's a more minimal version of the code

The issue started recently, only while impeller is enabled and on emulator

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
        useMaterial3: true,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key, required this.title});

  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  late VideoPlayerController _videoPlayerController;
  static const video1 = 'assets/videos/case_anim_davinci2.1.mp4';

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _videoPlayerController = VideoPlayerController.asset(video1)
      ..addListener(() {
        if (mounted) {
          setState(() {});
        }
      })
      ..setLooping(true)
      ..initialize().then((_) => _videoPlayerController.play());
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _videoPlayerController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: _videoPlayerController.value.isInitialized
          ? AspectRatio(
              aspectRatio: _videoPlayerController.value.aspectRatio,
              child: VideoPlayer(_videoPlayerController),
            )
          : const SizedBox(
              height: 300,
              child: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
            ),
    );
  }
}

Thanks for the update. Can you please switch to latest master and re-run your scenario to confirm if it persist still ?
There have been similar fixes made on master.

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now.
If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v'. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones.
Thanks for your contribution.
