esite_flutter_player 0.2.0

Secure DRM-enabled video playback plugin for Flutter using Android Media3 ExoPlayer with Widevine DRM support.

0.2.0

Major architecture overhaul: native Android Activity for DRM playback with YouTube-like UX.

Breaking Changes

• Native Activity playback: Video now plays in a dedicated native Android Activity instead of an embedded PlatformView. This fixes the black screen issue on physical devices with Widevine L1 DRM.
• ESitePlayerView is now a launch placeholder widget (tap to open the native player).

New Features

• YouTube-like double-tap seek: Double-tap left/right to seek backward/forward 10 seconds with ripple animation. Sequential taps accumulate (+20s, +30s, etc.).
• Configurable theme colors: primaryColor and secondaryColor on ESitePlayerConfig control the seek bar, scrubber, buffering ring, and button tints.
• Buffering ring: Circular loading indicator wraps around the play/pause button during buffering (replaces default center spinner).
• Gradient overlays: Semi-transparent dim + top/bottom gradients make controls visible on bright video content.
• Material Design icons: Speed (speedometer), quality (HD badge), and audio (music note) icons replace generic system drawables.
• Custom controller layout: Center play/pause/rewind/forward + bottom bar with large seek thumb, time display, and speed/quality/audio buttons.
• DRM L1 to L3 fallback: Automatically falls back from Widevine L1 to L3 on devices that don't support L1.
• Comprehensive error handling: Detailed error overlay with retry for network, DRM, source, parsing, and decoder errors.
• Adaptive bitrate: DefaultTrackSelector with automatic quality switching based on bandwidth.
• ESite API integration: Example app includes live API entitlement fetch scenario.

Improvements

• Dropdown menus (speed, quality, audio) now appear above their anchor buttons (fixed positioning).
• Bigger seek bar thumb (20dp) with 48dp touch target for easier seeking.
• launchPlayer() method on controller for explicit player launch.
