[video_player] API version in tizen-manifest.xml

[njoxa]

I'm having issues with HLS playback using the video_player and video_player_tizen packages. I'm not using any encryption or DRM for streaming, and I want to know if the API version in the XML could be related to the issue. For example, if I'm trying to support devices from 2021, do I need to compile different API version TPK files for each TV device? I can't recreate the error because emulator doesn't support the playback.

Hi

video_player_tizen is built on the platform's player API. Therefore, compatibility is guaranteed. You don't need to build each version.

Can you share a test video link we can check?

Do you have the appropriate privilege added to tizen-manifest.xml?

@JSUYA
Here is the test video link https://rpn.bozztv.com/dvrfl03/itv04060/index.m3u8
this is how the tizen-manifest.xml looks like.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.example.app" version="1.0.3" api-version="6.0" xmlns="http://tizen.org/ns/packages">
    <profile name="common"/>
    <ui-application appid="com.example.app" exec="Runner.dll" type="dotnet" multiple="false" nodisplay="false" taskmanage="true">

        <metadata key="http://tizen.org/metadata/prefer_dotnet_aot" value="true"/>

    </privileges>

</manifest>

This is what the reviewers replied with
CRITICAL: Infinite media loading. After App has been installed when media is launched, it displays a black screen with an infinite loading animation. Please fix this.

I tested the same configuration with other platforms and it worked

HI I tested this link on my tizen 6.0 test device. The video link played well.
Does the issue always occur? We need more information.

If infinite loading is the issue, you could also display a warning popup(or message) to the user if the video doesn't start playing for a certain amount of time after it starts.

@JSUYA Thank you for your response, I uploaded a new build I hope it will resolve the playback issue.
