Youtube_player_flutter: [FEATURE REQUEST] Playing video without fullscreen on iOS

[louisdeb]

When I play the video, the player automatically goes into fullscreen.

Is there a way of playing the video without fullscreen being forced?

If not, it would be a nice to have a flag to control this.

Same issue here. And even when I get out of fullscreen mode the video pauses and if I resume it goes back to fullscreen mode again. Before I didn't do it like this.

[sarbagyastha]

is this behaviour on Android or iOS?

Thanks a lot

This is due to a bug in webview_flutter. There's currently two open prs to fix it. I pulled down a copy of the plugin locally and added the 1 line change in https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/2309 and it worked for me.

@zcr1 thanks for drawing some attention to my PR. Would you mind adding a 👍 to give it a little extra visibility? I am sure we would all like to get this issue resolved upstream ASAP.

Also, as a point of clarification for everybody, this behavior is isolated to iPhones due to the way Apple treats the smaller screen. iPads have a different default behavior. 🤷‍♂

[sarbagyastha]

@zcr1 I too have a PR for it flutter/plugins#2227 , opened almost a month ago. But got no response from the team.

[sarbagyastha]

@alexmarkley the flag shouldn't be always true as in your PR, inline playback is not favored in ios ecosystem, so it should be optional.

[zeh-gil]

Hello, how's FR.
I have the same problem on IOS...

[victormanuelfrancodev]

I repair with the @alexmarkley PR . Thank you!

[sarbagyastha]

Sorry for the late response, was on a tight schedule. Will be working on the issue within this week.

[geekydiamond]

I feel really bad pestering because you created a great plugin, but the fullscreen issue is a blocker to us going live and we have a major conference we are demoing at in 2 weeks :s
Any guidance on timelines and whether we should look at other options would be very helpful.

[sarbagyastha]

@geekydiamond currently there's some issue with webview_flutter, so will work on this as soon as it gets solved.

[AGKireev]

Hey. Is there any information on this fix (preventing iOS go fullscreen when the playback starts)? Thanks!

[sarbagyastha]

Version 6.1.0 should fix the issue.
