Migrating from Flutter Sound

Migration from Flutter Sound to Sounds

Sounds was originally a fork of the Flutter Sounds project however there is very little code left from the original Flutter Sounds project.

The following guide provides some general advice on migrating your project from Flutter Sound to Sounds.

Playback

In the Sounds package the ShadePlayer and FlutterSoundPlayer have been deprecated in favour of a single class SoundPlayer.

SoundPlayer now has two constructors:

Code that previously used TrackPlayer should now call the SoundPlayer.withShadeUI() constructor.

Code that used the FlutterSoundPlayer should now call the SoundPlayer.noUI() constructor.

The equivalent method names on the FlutterSoundPlayer class have also been shortened.

Example changes:

FlutterSoundPlayer.startPlayer() -> SoundPlayer.play()

FlutterSoundPlayer.pausePlayer() -> SoundPlayer.pause()

FlutterSoundPlayer.stopPlayer() -> SoundPlayer.stop()

The new play methods replaces both startPlayer(uri) and startPlayerFromBuffer() and now takes a Track.

subscription

In the Sounds the original SoundPlayer subscription model is now been unified into a single stream via:

var Stream<PlaybackDisposition> = SoundPlayer.noUI().dispositionStream(interval);

The result is a stream of PlaybackDispositions which includes both the audio's duration (length) and current position.

Recording

The FlutterSoundRecorder has been replaced with SoundRecorder. Changes to the recorder a similar to the changes made to the player.

Types

Types and enums now consistently use camelCase.

e.g. t_PLAYER_STATE.IS_STOPPED -> PlayerState.isStopped
