setPlaybackSpeed method

Future<void> setPlaybackSpeed(
  1. double speed
)

Sets the playback speed of this.

speed indicates a speed value with different platforms accepting different ranges for speed values. The speed must be greater than 0.

The values will be handled as follows:

  • On web, the audio will be muted at some speed when the browser determines that the sound would not be useful anymore. For example, "Gecko mutes the sound outside the range 0.25 to 5.0" (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/playbackRate).
  • On Android, some very extreme speeds will not be played back accurately. Instead, your video will still be played back, but the speed will be clamped by ExoPlayer (but the values are allowed by the player, like on web).
  • On iOS, you can sometimes not go above 2.0 playback speed on a video. An error will be thrown for if the option is unsupported. It is also possible that your specific video cannot be slowed down, in which case the plugin also reports errors.

Implementation

Future<void> setPlaybackSpeed(double speed) async {
  if (speed < 0) {
    throw ArgumentError.value(
      speed,
      'Negative playback speeds are generally unsupported.',
    );
  } else if (speed == 0) {
    throw ArgumentError.value(
      speed,
      'Zero playback speed is generally unsupported. Consider using [pause].',
    );
  }

  value = value.copyWith(playbackSpeed: speed);
  await _applyPlaybackSpeed();
}
