Features

🎥 Video Streaming Support

• HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) — adaptive streaming, excellent iOS support
• DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming) — high-quality streaming, broad compatibility
• MP4 — standard format with universal support
• Auto-format selection — intelligent format selection based on platform and network conditions
• Fallback to MP4 — automatic fallback if primary format fails

📱 Platform Optimized

• iOS: optimized for HLS streaming
• Android: optimized for DASH streaming
• Hardware acceleration enabled by default

⚡ Performance Features

• Intelligent caching with configurable cache size and duration, SHA-256 cache keys with CDN-token normalization
• Adaptive preload — on low-end devices preload is automatically reduced to prevent OOM
• Memory pressure handling — disposes preloaded controllers on system memory warning
• Fast scroll protection — serial-based init cancellation prevents stale controller from overriding current video
• Preload prioritization — next video preloads first (await), previous is fire-and-forget

🎨 UI/UX Features

• Instagram-like interface with familiar gestures
• Customizable progress indicators
• Shimmer loading effects
• Error handling with retry functionality
• Play/pause animations
• Double-tap to like with heart animation
• Long press to pause

🔧 Advanced Configuration

• Streaming quality control (bitrate limits, resolution)
• DRM support via custom HTTP headers
• Network timeout and retry configuration
• Custom error and loading widgets

Migration Guide (1.x → 2.0.0)

1. Переименование виджета

Замените AwesomeReels на SnapReels во всех файлах:

// До (1.x)
AwesomeReels(
  reels: _controller.reels,
  controller: _controller,
  config: ReelConfig(),
)

// После (2.0.0)
SnapReels(
  reels: _controller.reels,
  controller: _controller,
  config: ReelConfig(),
)

2. Удаление устаревшего параметра

enableAdaptiveBitrate помечен как @Deprecated и не имеет эффекта. Просто удалите его:

// До (1.x)
StreamingConfig(
  preferredFormat: PreferredStreamingFormat.hls,
  enableAdaptiveBitrate: true,   // <-- удалите эту строку
)

// После (2.0.0)
StreamingConfig(
  preferredFormat: PreferredStreamingFormat.hls,
)

3. Ничего больше не нужно менять

Все остальные API обратно совместимы. Публичные классы и методы (ReelController, ReelModel, ReelConfig, VideoSource, etc.) не изменились.
