Player occasionally starts looping the same bit after seeking

I don't use VSCode, but I searched and found this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=abhiagr.logcat

Just to clarify, does it happen with the example application when switching in your m4a file?

I have a theory on what is causing it. I added some code to "re-seek" when the initial seek missed the mark (which happens, since MediaExtractor actually has quite poor seek accuracy in some situations - a flaw which also exists in the higher level MediaPlayer API).

If this is what's happening, you'll see the plugin output "Too early, re-seeking" in logcat, generated by this code:

                if (System.currentTimeMillis() - behindStartTime > BEHIND_LIMIT) {
                  System.out.println("Too early, re-seeking");
                  extractor.seekTo(start*1000L, MediaExtractor.SEEK_TO_CLOSEST_SYNC);
                  behindStartTime = 0;
                }

You can try commenting out this code and see if it helps. If it's the culprit, I'll delete that code.

Indeed, when looking in logcat i found those messages. Commenting out this section seems to have fixed my issue.

Why am i not getting the logs printed out in my console????
Even I am facing similar issues with seek but my application just crashes abruptly. Not able to pin point the cause.
Also nothing is getting printed on console???
Log.d() and System.out.println from native code not printing in console at all??
Only dart print() is showing in my console.
I think flutter 1.12 maybe the culprit. Can you tell me how you are getting the logs to work??

I noticed that too. To see the full logs, I run adb logcat directly from the command line. Some IDEs may have a built in logcat viewer, or at least Android Studio would have it.

I am using VS Code.

I've just published the fix in 0.0.4.

@rohansohonee hopefully if you can see the logcat output for your issue, you can post it in a new issue.

Thank you!
