Player events callback bug (onReadyStateChange & onTimeUpdate ) after seek about react-native-theoplayer HOT 5 CLOSED

When changing the source on the player you 'reset' the player. This implies that the ready_state is also reset en will only be updated once new ready_states are reached, i.e. playback is started/continued. The same applies to onTimeUpdate events. This event indicates changes in the 'currentTime' of the player, so when the player is in a 'playing' mode, updating the currentTime. From the described use-case it sounds like you set a new source and pause the player. As a result ready_state changes and timeUpdate events will start to appear once the player starts playing again. If you would do a seek without changing the source, it would indeed make sense to trigger these events as they indicate a state change on the current player instance.
What is the use-case that needs to be handled by the events you are expecting? Maybe a different approach could provide the required info?

In our use-case we are switching from a live stream to an open-replay stream. When the user pauses the live stream he will end up in an open-replay stream that is paused. The source changes when transitioning to the open-replay stream. We also receive a position that we need to seek to. At this time the user should see the last frame on the player that is paused. Now no frame is shown and only when the user starts the playback the stream is shown.

Does the simple workaround of briefly starting and stopping playback of the second stream (e.g. till first timeUpdate event) to show the first frame suffice for now to support your use case?

@janvandertaelen did the work-around help you out?

Workaround works but is not ideal.

setPlayerIsPaused(false); setTimeout(() => { setPlayerIsPaused(true); }, 1);

we are doing this when a new source is loaded. If you can fix that after a new source is loaded that onReadyStateChange is called it would remove our dirty hack.
