simple_audio

• Support Gradle 8

Main changes:

• Removed media controllers
  • Please check the example project to see how you can implement media controllers using other packages
• Decoupled Rust code from FlutterRustBridge.
  • Allows for compatibility with other FlutterRustBridge packages that may have a different version from simple_audio. If you need this functionality, please check how simple_audio_flutter implements a Dart API.
• API changes

How to migrate to V2 from v1.9.0:

• SimpleAudio.init() no longer takes any parameters.
• SimpleAudio() constructor only takes one optional parameter: shouldNormalizeVolume
• playbackStateStream is renamed to playbackState
• progressStateStream is renamed to progressState
• Network errors are now handled by listening to the networkError stream
• Decode errors are now handled by listening to the decodeError stream
• ProgressState now represents time via Duration. To get the position in seconds, do state.position.inSeconds
• seek now takes a Duration. To seek to a given point in seconds, do seek(Duration(seconds: seconds)
• setMetadata and Metadata are removed. Please use other packages as shown in the example to implement media controllers.

• Improved gapless playback
  • The preloaded file is automatically played when the current file is done playing.
  • clearPreload() removes the preloaded file so that it doesn't automatically play.
  • PreloadPlayed playback state which is sent after the preload was automatically played.

• Add stop event (thanks @dannyglover)
• Add uuid dependency

• Improved error handling. Custom errors are thrown in open() and preload(). The onNetworkStreamError and onDecodeError callbacks now have a parameter for the error message.
• Updated flutter_rust_bridge to 1.82.1
• Removed useless comments in pubspec.yaml

• Specify explicit version of flutter_rust_bridge

• Increase device buffer size, compare buffer size to default instead of 1

• Select correct buffer size based on default output config.
• Extract ios.zip to simple_audio.xcframework directory (thanks @Yesterday17)
• Add topics to pubspec.yaml

• Fix method channels hanging because a result wasn't returned in native code.

• Release assets use tar.gz for Linux/Android/Windows
• Update README
• Update git/pub ignore

• Fixed normalization gain calculation.
• Normalizer has smoother volume changes and don't apply excess positive gain.
• Refactored CD. Built libraries are now release assets instead of files committed to the repo.
• Created a CI.

• Opus support (thanks @Yesterday17)

• Fix stream playback stopping for a moment when preloading another network stream.
• Fix preloaded output stream breaking the next streams on Windows.
• Fix playPreload not auto playing on Windows.

• HTTP and HLS streams fallback to downloading the file if Content-Length cannot be acquired.
• More CD improvements

• Update .pubignore to exclude the iOS framework Info.plist file.
• Improve CD workflow file.
  • Use different context variables
  • Add --rebase flag to git pull
• Remove OpenSSL dependency to improve CD build times on iOS.

• Fix preloaded file not playing after output device is changed.
• MPRIS: Fix error when hot reloading because name is taken.
• Increase downloaded chunk size for network streams.

• Fix Android audio crackling with Bluetooth headphones.
• Fix high CPU usage with MPRIS.
