Video thumbnails on Android about dotnet-maui-videoplayer HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @EdwardMcFlurry

By default, an Android MediaController hides itself after 3 seconds. In order to make it visible throughout video playback you'll have to override the MediaController.Hide method:

    public class MyMediaController : MediaController
    {
        public MyMediaController(Context context) : base(context)
        {
        }
 
        public override void Hide()
        {
        }
 
        public void HideController()
        {
            base.Hide();
        }
    }

Having an empty Hide method ensures that the transport controls never fade out. Then, instead of creating a new MediaController, create a new MyMediaController:

_mediaController = new MyMediaController(_context);

The problem this creates is that in some scenarios the transport controls will still be showing even when you navigate away from the page. That's the purpose of the HideController method - it forces the transport controls to disappear. You just need to call this method at an appropriate point in the page lifecycle.

Hi @davidbritch

Thank you so much for the response and I'll give it a try and see if it won't be ideal for my scenario or perhaps at least look for ways of having the thumbnails for Android.
