YouTube Player View Buffered Video Lost












0















On Orientation change, the buffered video stream is lost and the player reloads the video and then plays it. How to avoid the loss of buffered stream. I have initialised my player in the following way.



@Override
public void onInitializationSuccess(YouTubePlayer.Provider provider, YouTubePlayer youTubePlayer, boolean wasRestored)
{

// Checking whether video is restored or not
if (!wasRestored)
{
// If not restored load video
// Defining player
player = youTubePlayer;

// Setting flag for the player to play video in fullscreen mode when switched to landscaper orientation
player.setFullscreenControlFlags(YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_CONTROL_ORIENTATION | YouTubePlayer.FULLSCREEN_FLAG_ALWAYS_FULLSCREEN_IN_LANDSCAPE);

// Attaching onFullScreenListener to player
player.setOnFullscreenListener(new YouTubePlayer.OnFullscreenListener()
{
@Override
public void onFullscreen(boolean isFullScreen)
{
// onFullScreen setting flag to true
playingInFullscreen = isFullScreen;
}
});


player.setPlayerStyle(YouTubePlayer.PlayerStyle.DEFAULT);
player.loadVideo(videoId);
}
else
{
Log.i("VideoPlayer", "was restored");
}

}

          • It's because YotubePlayer detects any overlays over itself (share dialog, fragments, views) and pause playback. If you mean that so. Sorry, but you cannot avoid so behaviour.
