video_player_audio_service

This project demonstrates an example implementation of the Flutter audio_service package with video_player to provide background audio playback functionality for videos.

Overview

The project shows how to:

• Use audio_service to handle audio playback in the background
• Integrate with video_player for video content
• Maintain audio playback when the app is in the background

Dependencies

Currently, this project uses a forked version of the video_player package until a pull request is merged into the main repository. The fork includes necessary functionality for proper integration with audio_service.

Behavior on iOS

On iOS, video playback pauses when the screen is turned off but can be resumed via the notification controls. Audio files, however, continue playing without interruption when the screen is turned off.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository
2. Run flutter pub get to install dependencies
3. Run the app on your preferred device

Note

Once the pull request for the video_player package is merged, this project will be updated to use the official package version.
