Description
Currently, it is impossible for client code to interpret the state or event in which the underlying native Media object has been destroyed when the OS is terminating the activity / process. This is a short coming of the plugin, because the success callback is called without any indication that the entire activity or process was stopped abruptly. In other worse, the MEDIA_STOPPED state is too _ambiguous_ . I would like to request a solution to resolve this ambiguity.
There is no way for the plugin to indicate to the client code that the underlying OS is terminating the the process. Please provide a way for client code to discern the difference between OS forcefully stopping the media and the media stopping because it has successfully reached the end of playback.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review how onDestroy, dealloc, MEDIA_STOPPED, and the success callback are exposed to client code. Define and document a way to distinguish OS-forced process termination from media reaching the end of playback, then verify the behavior on the affected native platforms.
