Youtube_player_flutter: The initial video id opens a new Browser page after upgrading to latest Flutter beta release 1.25.0-8.1.pre [BUG]

[inc16sec]

The youtube_player_ifame opens a web browser of the youtube video (it shouldn't do so) once the player loads.

   @override
     void initState() {
       super.initState();
       dialogPickerColor = Colors.red;

    _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
      initialVideoId: '8oESM64gU5M',
      params: const YoutubePlayerParams(
        showControls: true,
        showFullscreenButton: false,
        desktopMode: false,
        privacyEnhanced: true,
      ),
    );
  }

Before upgrading Flutter it was working just as intended, but after upgrading flutter it started exiting the app and opening the browser page of the initialVideoId. I tried updating the youtube_player_iframe package to the latest release '1.2.0+2' but still the same issue.

Thank you for everything. :)

I think the problem is with flutter's WebView widget. It seems like when you pass it an Iframe, it opens it on a new page.

Would there anything we can try for this?

Think I found a temporary fix. Downgrade to version 1.1.0 not ^1.1.0, since the caret indicates that it should either be 1.1.0 or later.
Please use the fork https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_plyr_iframe in the meantime.

It has nothing to do with Flutter nor Webview. The problem is url_launcher which was added in commit 3b6a053d37a76b5321deb1e54434a55014a59799

Edit: Pull Request for fix is out.

This bug happens on previous versions too. Tested on flutter-1.23-candidate.18 and flutter-1.24-candidate.10

So, a minor fix may have that broken. :-D

I've noticed that the player is opening on a browser on iOS. Should this be happening?

Same behavior here, would be great if the PR could be merged 👍

You can add the package like this in your pubspec.yaml:

youtube_player_iframe:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/jonatadashi/youtube_player_iframe.git

But it's always a good idea to fork the repo before, as it's not the main repo and you have no idea of what will be added 👍

Better to use the fork on pub.dev. https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_plyr_iframe
