Is there a way to spawn multiple VLC players?

[moeiscool]

I am making a client for my CCTV app and am trying to display multiple streams at the same time. Whenever I do though, only the second (or last) one actually loads. The first one just continues to show the placeholder (in this case a loading spinner).

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

this is the function i use to create my widget

vlcWidget() {
  final _videoViewController = VlcPlayerController();
  return VlcPlayer(
    url: loginEndpoint + _activeStreamUrl,
    controller: _videoViewController,
    placeholder: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
  );
}

It's not working at the moment, so feel free to submit PR if you can get it done.

i don’t know anything about how this stuff actually works but i am willing to try and give it that support. if you have any pointers i’d greatly appreciate and would share my additions back in a PR. i’m fairly seasoned in node.js and php. i learned to use dart over the last few days. so i think ill be able to pick up on how to do it, i just need a little hint on where to start :)

Wow what a great idea, multiple streams on a single view? Yes please. Can we request this as a feature?

well don't get hopes so high. i think no one care of maintaining this anymore as last update almost a year ago

omg. does your fork have it now? please say it does. ill take it dirty

[mitchross]

Not yet. i am probably going to make my fork have the ability to dynamically add streams with a button in the UI. Right now its hard coded, which is bad.

Here's how I got it working. https://gist.github.com/mitchross/ad952529a9b906e7d4a150971a739fd0
