Question: Using a periodic stream instead of audioPlayer.positionStream

[intonarumori]

I'm working on an audio app for a local radio station using just_audio.

I noticed that this project uses a periodic stream instead of the audioPlayer.positionStream to track playback progress.
I had some issues using the latter in my own app resulting in high CPU usage and the phone getting hot, and I was wondering if this decision was based on similar experiences?

Congratulations to this projects, it serves as a great example of using just_audio and greatly helps as a reference for other audio enabled apps trying to achieve similar goals.

Many thanks.

Hi @intonarumori,

The positionStream from just_audio varies in how frequently it pushes to the stream based on the length of the audio, from 16ms to 200ms. I don't need such a frequent update in Anytime, so I rolled my own to keep the update frequency consistent at just 500ms and hopefully save some battery in the process too.

Thanks for your feedback :)
