ForwardingPlayer.setPlayWhenReady is not being called

[nandovelazquez]

From migrating a DefaultControlDispatcher to ForwardingPlayer, do I need to implement something else besides only creating an instance of the ForwardingPlayer class? Because I'm not getting called the method setPlayWhenReady from the ForwardingPlayer but other methods are called as getPlayWhenReady and isPlaying, for example.

This is reproducible in the ExoPlayer Demo app v2.17.1 by just passing a ForwardingPlayer object to the playerView object through the method setPlayer()

Thank you!

The PlayerControlView is using player.play() and player.pause() which is delegated by the ForwardingPlayer to the wrapped Player. Then the wrapped player is calling setPlayWhenReady(true|false) but not on the ForwardingPlayer but internally on itself.

So you can intercept these calls by overriding play() and pause() of your ForwardingPlayer.

Thanks for the quick response!

The methods play() and pause() work. It might be helpful if that behavior is somewhere in the documentation for future references.

Thanks again.
