0.1.0-beta.1

Initial pre-release of audio_video_player.

Audio

• AudioController — full audio playback powered by just_audio.
  • Supports single tracks (URISource, FileSource, AssetSource), playlists (PlaylistSource), and albums (AlbumSource).
  • Background playback and lock-screen / notification controls via just_audio_background.
  • Reactive streams: playerStateStream, positionStream, durationStream, bufferedPositionStream, volumeStream, speedStream, queueStream, currentItemStream, currentIndexStream, repeatModeStream, shuffleEnabledStream.
  • Queue management: add(), addAll(), removeAt(), move(), clear().
  • Shuffle (setShuffleMode), repeat (setRepeatMode — off / one / all), speed (setSpeed), volume (setVolume).
• SleepTimer — countdown timer with per-second remainingStream; automatically pauses AudioController on expiry.
• EqualizerController — Android-only per-band EQ via just_audio's AndroidEqualizer.
  • getBands(), setBandGain(index, db), reset(), setEnabled(bool).
• AudioSessionManager — configures the system audio session via audio_session.

Video

• VideoController — single video item playback using video_player + Chewie UI.
  • Handles https://, file://, and asset:// URI schemes.
  • setFit(VideoFit) — runtime video scaling (contain, cover, fill, fitWidth, fitHeight, scaleDown).
  • setOrientation(VideoOrientation) — lock device orientation (auto, portrait, landscape).

  • Exposes chewieController for direct Chewie widget integration.
