Are you running ios or android? Are you running in debug or performance? Are you casting or running native in the app? Can you provide a sample URL for me to test and device info? Very hard to point in right direction without a little bit of debug info.

and this is Flutter doctor

[√] Flutter (Channel stable, 2.10.3, on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.1266], locale en-US)
[√] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version 31.0.0)

and please note when I try dart_vlc for desktop this issue didn't appear with no any additional configuration . In addition I used internal UDP stream URL and this stream is doing well using dart_vlc for desktop and better_player for android

What happens if you run the provided example app and run it on your device? Are you still seeing performance issues?

Any recommended vlc options to fix this issue ??

Try https://github.com/solid-software/flutter_vlc_player/pull/314

mitchross avatar Apr 27 '22 02:04 mitchross

Thanks. A suggestion is the flutter_vlc_player_platform_interface project should be move out of the flutter_vlc_player project, Or merge two projects into one. As you know, Currently the flutter_vlc_player project will refer flutter_vlc_player_platform_interface from pub.dev

Try #314

The performance improved a bit , but still not satisfactory

yes. After serval tests, There're some findings,

  1. Use PlatformViewLink or AndroidView -- lag exists
  2. Play streaming in native but control by Flutter.(In this scenario, flutter_vlc_player project is not included) -- lag still exists
  3. Play and control streaming in new native activity. (In this scenario, flutter_vlc_player project is not included) -- ok

@smedasn what device are you using?

mitchross avatar May 11 '22 19:05 mitchross

It works kind of smooth on my new mobile phone but very laggy on firestick devices. but the native vlc player performs well there.
is this plugin using platform views?

I think this issue related to rebuild the texture in every second or the widget involved in loop of build function

ZoubairDaddow avatar May 16 '22 06:05 ZoubairDaddow

Hi! Any comments about that? Have the same problem. It had tested in a firestick and the result is lag and slow performance
