Precache Function for Cached Videos

Open mgulbazilyas opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Overview:
This pull request introduces a new feature that enables precaching videos without requiring immediate playback. The precache function downloads and stores videos locally, allowing offline access later without an internet connection.

Key Features:

  • Added a precacheVideo(String url) method to cache videos in advance.
  • Supports monitoring caching progress and handles errors gracefully.
  • Ensures compatibility with existing caching mechanisms of the cached_video_player_plus plugin.

Use Case:

  • Applications with a list of videos that need to be available offline.
  • Reduces buffering time during playback by preloading video content.
  • Ideal for scenarios where users may have limited or no internet connectivity after initial caching.

Testing Details:

  • Tested with multiple video URLs to ensure caching functionality.
  • Verified offline playback of cached videos after precaching.
  • Handled edge cases, including network interruptions during caching.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience with faster and smoother video playback.
  • Reliable offline video access for preloaded content.
  • Flexible integration with apps requiring preloaded media content.

Notes for Reviewers:

  • Code implementation follows plugin standards for caching and performance.
  • Suggestions for optimization or additional features are welcome.

Thanks for reviewing this pull request!
