Current bug behaviour

I'm writing a function that will keep playing audio file on loop. This is what it looked like from my method.

final Map<String, String> voiceMap = {
    "1": "sound/one.mp3",
    "2": "sound/two.mp3",
    "3": "sound/three.mp3",
    "4": "sound/four.mp3",
  };

  await AudioPlayer.global
      .setAudioContext(AudioContextConfig(/*...*/).build());
  final player = AudioPlayer();
  await player.play(
    AssetSource(
      voiceMap[number.toString()]!,
    ),
  );

  final start = player.onPlayerComplete.listen((_) async {
    final pref = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
    final status = pref.getBool(currentPage);
    for (var i = 1; i <= 15; i++) {
      if (status != null) {
        break;
      }
      player.play(
        AssetSource(
          voiceMap[number.toString()]!,
        ),
      );
    }
  });

This error will not happen if i untick 'Uncaught Exception' in VSCode which obviously is undesired. And the app still crash regardless after a few loops.

Expected behaviour

The player played a sound on loop without issues.

Steps to reproduce

0. flutter create
1. add .mp3 assets and audioplayers 5.2.1 inside pubspec.yaml.
2. copy the sample.
3. Execute flutter run on the code sample.

Update

It definitely has something to do with audioplayers_android 4.0.3. I downgrade both package and forced audioplayers_android package back to 4.0.2 and it worked fine again.

audioplayers: ^5.2.0 audioplayers_android: 4.0.2

[Gustl22]

Thanks for the report. Is there a reason to call play 15 times at the same time (even without await keyword). This doesn't make sense for me. You need a separate player for each source, if want to play them simultaneously. Also i != number. Do you want the same song multiple times, or different songs?

You need a separate player for each source, if want to play them simultaneously. Also i != number. Do you want the same song multiple times, or different songs?

Hi, The function will have to loop every seconds. It's something to do with my internal hardware test for mobile phones. One of them is phone speaker. This function is supposed to repeated the same .mp3 sound while speaking something until it received respond from user. I set the countdown to 15 seconds hence the specific 15 loop.

The whole function is actually longer than that and even have Riverpod state. But it contain internal company code so i rather avoid showing it here. The main thing here is that my Flutter sample above that comes with the report definitely reproduce the issue so it's either the .mp3 file itself, or something else entirely.

[Gustl22]

But the loop is not async so you execute all the 15 plays at once, which probably causes the player to collapse.

And it's true, something changed in the last update, which may is responsible to cause the error, see: https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/commit/7ae3c9cda8c9b12d47572039c4ba3e83fada406c#diff-73c0547bd20d0db27baafc88e2e9439001dc1f3d792213a7784af04b273aa02fR125 It means, that now, the source is not set immediately and therefore the player could be set multiple times with the same source. So we may need to make this a synchronized block.

This means, yes, there is room for improvement, but I would blame the android MediaPlayer lib for that, as it shouldn't throw, like you wouldn't expect. We are planning to switch anyways, see #1526.

But also this test does not replicate any real world scenario: You have to provide a counter which is updating:

var playCounter = 0:
final player = AudioPlayer();
await player.setReleaseMode(ReleaseMode.stop);
await player.setSource(AssetSource(
           'sound/one.mp3',
         ),
);
player.onPlayerComplete.listen((_) async {
     if (playcounter >= 15) return;
     playCounter++;
     await player.stop();
     await player.resume();
 });
await player.resume();

Or just activate the loop mode and wait 15 seconds with Future.delayed and then stop the player: AudioPlayer()..setReleaseMode(ReleaseMode.loop)

[BirgitPohl]

I'm not sure if the intention is to set a new source 15 times, even if it is the same for testing purposes. I have a use-case, where I have a global player - never gets disposed - and I have to set a new source after an audio is done playing (whatever state the AudioPlayer might be having). And I do get the error. I'm not fully done debugging, but I believe it is when I set a new source.

[echogit]

You need a separate player for each source, if want to play them simultaneously.

Hey, is this correct? I have several sounds that might play at the same time at a game, and I am using something like this:

on the init method: poolBalao = await AudioPool.create( source: AssetSource("sounds/som-balao-efeito-2.mp3"), maxPlayers: 3, minPlayers: 1, ); poolCheering = await AudioPool.create( source: AssetSource("sounds/kids-cheering.mp3"), maxPlayers: 3, minPlayers: 1, );

Then the methods:

  Future<void> playEstouroBalaoEffect() async {
poolBalao.start();

}

the on the event:

onPop: () async { Vibration.vibrate( duration: 250, ); await playEstouroBalaoEffect(); ...

Is this creating a different player for each sound?
