my function
Future<String> create_video() async {
SharedPreferences prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
prefs.setString('daysfromnow_modify',daysfromnow_modify)??"";
final Directory extDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
_controller = VideoPlayerController.network(
'file:${extDir.path}/Movies/$daysfromnow_modify.mp4'
)
..initialize().then((_) {
setState(() {
if( _controller!=null){
_changed(true, "video_chargement"); //display video
}else{
_changed(false, "video_chargement"); // hide video
}
});
});
}
All is good but after 5 replays or 8, or 10, it's random I have crash
I use the example and only add _controller.initialize(); to replay video without it, I can't replay finished video. But when controller.initialize(); is call multiple time I have crash...

Answer 1

The issue here is that the same VideoPlayerController is being reinitialized multiple times without being disposed. If the same controller is going to be used again, the controller can be reused again as mentioned GitHub issue thread.
