[video_player] Duration update during HLS live stream #178280
Description
Use case
HLS live streams
Proposal
Current version of video_player does allow to update duration value during playback. That lead to an issue when user can`t properly seek in video stream. Since initial duration is 0. As workaround buffered value can be used to as duration. But this is a hacky solution.
Here is 2 options to address this issue:
1
add new VideoEventType: durationUpdate. That will allow VideoPlatformInterface implementation update duration when it needs
2
Change bufferingUpdate handler:
Duration newDuration = event.duration ?? value.duration;
if (newDuration < event.buffered) {
newDuration = event.buffered;
}
value = value.copyWith(buffered: event.buffered);
