[BUG] Infinite loading of video #169

Gunlek · 2020-03-07T11:03:46Z

Describe the bug
I tested the default example implemented in an app and the video is loading infinitely, the last message in debug console is
W/System (14804): A resource failed to call release

To Reproduce
Define your controller like this in initState()

_controller = YoutubePlayerController(
      initialVideoId: 'iLnmTe5Q2Qw',
      flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
        forceHideAnnotation: true
      ),
    );

And implement your widget like this:

YoutubePlayer(
            controller: _controller,
            showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
            progressIndicatorColor: Colors.amber,
            onReady: () {
                print('Player is ready.');
            },
          ),

Expected behavior
A working youtube video should show up and wait for the user to start playing it

Technical Details:

Device: Emulator
OS: Android
Version API 28
Flutter master channel (latest update) but same problem on beta channel

Additional context
I checked this bug report: flutter/flutter#24565
Because the controller is sending the same message if you're trying to use it.

The widget tree is like this:

Scaffold
  |-> SingleChildScrollView
    |-> Column
      |-> YoutubePlayer

Complete errored debug console:

Same issue. Any progress or workarounds?

rafaelmaeuer · 2020-04-25T12:24:33Z

I have the same issue. Video is loading forever.

It only happens on a real Android Device in release build.
Android Emulator (debug) is working, and iOS Simulator (debug) and Device (release) works too.

Device: Samsung Galaxy A6
Android: 9 (Pie)
Flutter 1.12.13+hotfix.9
youtube_player_flutter: ^6.1.0+7

This really is a showstopper and lets me think about using something like flutter_youtube_view instead...

rafaelmaeuer · 2020-04-25T13:25:24Z

Ok after some further investigation I found the reason for my problem. It seems that Android permissions need to be set by hand after creating a new flutter project. By default the release version doesn't have any permissions -> no access to the internet. Therefore the youtube-player cannot access the source-file and loads forever. Adding the following to the AndroidManifest.xml solved it for me:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Solution found on: Flutter released app not working on the device, when installed

It doesn't work for me.

Still have the same problem.

emmett-deen · 2020-04-29T15:50:12Z

Not working on iOS devices or simulator for me either. Using 6.1.0+7

emmett-deen · 2020-05-04T20:09:56Z

Another note if you try and FullScreen during this infinite load you get an error Invalid Video ID = Error Code: 1

Mapk26 · 2020-05-04T20:41:06Z

I had the same issue.
the example was working fine but using the plugin inside my existing project results in infinite loading.

In my case, the issue was caused by webview_flutter: ^0.3.20+2

Removing this dependency from my pubspec solved the problem

emmett-deen · 2020-05-05T15:01:05Z

I found my issue the video id's were actually waiting to be published. Set to premiere in x days. A real youtube player says this if you try to play the video that is about to premiere. Maybe this should be an added feature

Gicminos · 2020-05-30T08:59:38Z

Same problem on iPad 3 with iOS 9.3.5, and none of the above helped me

sarbagyastha · 2020-05-31T18:04:23Z

Should fix with v7.0.0.

enricobenedos · 2020-06-04T21:49:26Z

Should fix with v7.0.0.

I'm using 7.0.0+3but the infinite loading before start video is still a problem on my Android emulator

harshbarnwal · 2020-06-19T20:55:14Z

I am having same infinite loading issue, any update on this problem?

ComplexCarbos · 2020-06-24T23:13:34Z

Same issue for me as well on Android Pixel 2 XL emulator. Video loads if I downgrade to v6.1.1.

minSdkVersion 21

I do not include webview_flutter.

Initialization is fairly simple:

_controller = YoutubePlayerController(
        initialVideoId: videoID,
        flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
          mute: false,
          enableCaption: false,
          autoPlay: false,
        ),
      );

JigarKotak7 · 2020-07-28T07:31:04Z

Same issue for me as well on Android Pixel 3. Video keeps on loading, it works perfectly on iOS.

is this an issues with just Emulator ?? has anyone tried on real Android Device?

Any update would help.

Thank you.

raghuck · 2020-10-11T06:21:02Z

Experiencing the same issue.
The video plays well though but the loader keeps on rotating at the bottom left of the video screen.

Did anyone find any solution for this issue?

Downgrade to 6.1.1 package

littleironical · 2020-12-01T17:36:35Z

Thanks @JigarKotak7 for replying, I downgraded it to v6.1.1 package but it was still not running in the emulator. So I tried @Gunlek idea to Define your controller in initState() and it worked, this is my code:

class AboutTopic extends StatefulWidget {
  final String videoLink;

  AboutTopic({this.videoLink});

  @override
  _AboutTopicState createState() => _AboutTopicState();
}

class _AboutTopicState extends State<AboutTopic> {
  YoutubePlayerController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
     _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
      initialVideoId:
          YoutubePlayer.convertUrlToId(widget.videoLink),
      flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
          mute: false,
          autoPlay: true,
          disableDragSeek: true,
          loop: false,
          enableCaption: false),
    );

    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
       appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('About'),
        centerTitle: true,
        leading: IconButton(
          icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
          },
        )
      ),

      body: YoutubePlayer(
        controller: _controller,
        showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
        bottomActions: <Widget>[
          const SizedBox(width: 14.0),
          CurrentPosition(),
          const SizedBox(width: 8.0),
          ProgressBar(isExpanded: true),
          RemainingDuration(),
        ],
        aspectRatio: 4 / 3,
        progressIndicatorColor: Colors.white,
        onReady: () {
          print('Player is ready.');
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

muhajirdev · 2021-04-28T11:14:05Z

also same problem

santhoshi-tikme · 2021-06-23T05:00:47Z

I am having same infinite loading issue, It' working in emulator but real device it's not working

muhajirdev · 2021-06-23T06:07:51Z

hey @santhoshisrimanthula
in case it's helpful for you. I can feel your frustration lol.

so. the latest version works on a few phones and doesn't work on other phones.
I think it has something to do with the android version

I solved this problem by downgrading into version youtube_player_flutter: ^6.1.1

davidengler · 2021-12-16T22:00:16Z

I had internet permission only for debug manifest. After adding internet permission to the main manifest, It worked for me.

sunnystas · 2022-11-25T16:32:38Z

Had an issue with the constant loading of the video player.
The solution was Define your controller in initState()! Thank you guys @Gunlek and @littleironical
