}) async {
  try {
    await _methodChannel.invokeMethod("startPlayer", {
      "url": url,
      "autoPlay": autoPlay,
    });

    // Cancel any existing subscription before creating a new one.
    playerStateSubscription?.cancel();
    playerStateSubscription = _eventChannel
        .receiveBroadcastStream()
        .listen(onData, onError: onError);
  } catch (e) {
    throw Exception(
        "Unable to start the player with the provided URL [Start Player]");
