Always getting wrong duration

[abhay-s-rawat]

AudioPlayer audioPlayer = AudioPlayer(); await audioPlayer.setUrl(path, isLocal: true); await audioPlayer.getDuration();

Above code always give 5963776 milliseconds for large files near 5-10 mb.

Adding sleep(const Duration(milliseconds: 100)); before calling duration seems to work for me, is it a functionality of a workaround ?

if instead of getDuration() you use its listener

 player.onDurationChanged.listen((Duration d) {
    print('Max duration: $d');
    setState(() => duration = d);
  });

it works fine. From documentation of onDurationChanged: This event returns the duration of the file, when it's available (it might take a while because it's being downloaded or buffered).
