vesper_player_external_playback 0.4.2

Optional external playback integration for Vesper Player Flutter hosts.

Changelog

0.4.2 - 2026-08-17

Fixed

• The matching Android vesper-player-kit-external-playback coordinate and transitive FFmpeg runtime are now included in stable Maven Central publication, so a hosted Flutter application can resolve the package without a Vesper source checkout.

0.4.1 - 2026-08-14

Breaking Changes

• The Android plugin package and all external-playback channels now use the io.github.umbrella22 reverse-DNS root. No old channel aliases are registered.
• The external playback Flutter package now requires Flutter 3.44.0 or newer.

Changed

• Material widgets are imported through the official material_ui package.
• The material_ui dependency now uses the stable 1.0 release.
• Android build tooling now uses Kotlin 2.4.10 and kotlinx.coroutines 1.11.0; the native external-playback host uses AndroidX AppCompat 1.8.0 and OkHttp 5.4.0.

Fixed

• Android resource merging no longer contributes an unused route-theme alias that could resolve through an inheritance cycle with the native host kit.

0.3.0 - 2026-05-18

Changed

• Android now calls the consolidated vesper-player-kit-external-playback Kotlin facade while keeping the Dart API unchanged.
• The Android route button platform view now uses VesperExternalRouteButton from the external-playback AAR.

0.2.0 - 2026-05-13

Breaking Changes

• External playback DTOs are now defined by vesper_player_platform_interface. Import package:vesper_player/vesper_player.dart or package:vesper_player_platform_interface/vesper_player_platform_interface.dart for VesperExternalPlaybackRoute, VesperExternalPlaybackMediaItem, VesperExternalPlaybackResult, and VesperExternalPlaybackSessionEvent.
• The external-playback package no longer owns duplicate public DTO definitions.
• The Android plugin manifest no longer enables app-wide cleartext traffic. Hosts that use DLNA discovery or local relay URLs must declare their own manifest or network-security cleartext policy.
