Hi @FlutterSu! I'm tryin to test your feature but i'm getting the following error when running the example app

PlatformException(VideoError, Video player had error com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlaybackException: Source error, , null)

Any hints? I need to do something else to get this working?

Hi!
Nothing is needed.

Are you running the better_player example?

Can you provide more detail?

[andreyneto]

the error occurs in the DRM page from the better_player example, but in my app with my own drm implementation is running fine. Thanks for the work.

Hi! I get a issue when release mode

Platform view hasn't been initialized from the platform view channel.

Hello @FlutterSu would you be able to look at this feature request? #1066 I was just wondering if it would possible to render the SubtitleView alongside the Surface renderer, or something similar. Thanks!

Unfortunately, this feature somehow breaks the return from fullscreen: the screen goes black.

SurfaceView is strictly a consumer and Surface is strictly a producer.

SurfaceView's Surface is the producing side of a producer/consumer pair, with the consumer side being the display. You can't use SurfaceView as the source of a stream as a result, so the entire concept of connecting a SurfaceView to a video encoder doesn't work. Both of those consume frames and neither of them produce frames.
