You can customize the url and the notification strings for the controls and the feedback. Any reported problems will be welcome. Thank you in advance and I hope you enjoy it.

Setup instructions

Android

If you use a http protocol you need to add a NetworkConfig to allow http to your domain into the Manifest file.

Support Android SDK min version : 16

iOS

Like Android if you use http connection, you must change the info.plist of your project to allow it. You need to change the App Transport Security Settings. For a better functionality in background i recommend to add the Audio Background mode capability in the target of your project.

Feature included

The plugin can reproduce audio for a streaming source using ExoPlayer for Android and AvPlayer for iOS. You can control the play stop and pause action with the plugin methods or from the foreground notification actions. The plugin have methods to get feedback of the of the player status in the native side to use that in flutter side. You can customize the foreground notification controls messages and button texts with the config method.
