I want to update item count dynamically (by pagination or infinite scrolling)

I did the that in tray view by adding a scrollcontroller, But to update the story view we need some way to update the story item when data updates via pagination,

Would be great to be able to call a custom function when a slide starts & when a slide ends. For instance once a video is finished it can trigger an onSlideEnd / videoViewed function to add a view count to the database. Also, would be useful to have a function fire onSlideStart

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to define a custom function once a slide begins and ends.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Hack the code or use a pageview base approach which has onPageChanged

Additional context
Also makes sense to have onStoryChanged so that when a new story starts you can run a different function.

Add support to the package for flutter web
Hi, this looks like an amazing package, I'm using a different package for stories, this one look much richer package, I'm working with flutter on the web.

My suggestion is to remove caching if kIsWeb is true
I browsed a little bit in the source code of the package and I saw that the only thing that you depend on is the caching which is not currently available for the web, I just wondering if you can add a condition in case id kIsWeb true to get the image from the internet instead of the caching mechanism.

thank you

Is there anything specific that will make it difficult? I know video, caching & performance can be problematic so not sure how realistic it is.

Skip the Already Viewed Story

Using a predefined set of gestures is limiting.

Describe the solution you'd like
Put gesture options inside AdvStory() so you can do whatever you want with any gesture. Ex: Swiping up opens a page or double tap runs a function etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Disable AdvStory gestures alltogether and wrap in a gestureDetector()

Additional context
Not quite sure how to call your functions inside a custom wrapped GestureDetector(). Perhaps some documentation?

Awesome job on performance! It runs great!

What if you don't want to display a tray? or You only have a single story to play. What do you do?

Describe the solution you'd like
Decouple the Tray and the Story Player so that you can simply play a single story without using the tray. Or have a standalone Story Player.

Just wanted to thank you again and say great job. Caching works great and skipping slides is flawless!

I would like to change StoryView background color for image and video, but there is no where i can find it

Hello Thank you for this wonderful package In persian or rtl applications, this package has bugs, especially in the story and for skip content with gesture
please help

Firstly, thanks for what looks to be an awesome package. It looks really well designed and implemented.

This is probably more of a question than a feature request... my application is more of an "image gallery" than a "story viewer", but your implementation looks super flexible and has a lot of the features I think I am likely to need (eg. playing videos and showing cached images and swiping between them).

I've done a very quick POC using AdvStory.player() and it was pretty simple to get me about80% of the way there.

A few challenges I see in re-purposing advstory as a more general-purpose image gallery are:

• Hiding the progress indicators. Not sure if there's a good way to hide them totally... setting valueColor and backgroundColor to transparent seems to work but not sure if there's a better way
• Stopping the timed advancement to the next StoryContent. I saw another issue talking about this... and possibly using the interceptor to reset it. I wonder whether I'm just going to be constantly "fighting" advstory by doing this though.
• I'd like my users to be able to double-tap/pinch to zoom. Again, I saw another issue where I could possibly add a gesture detector. Just wondering whether using an interceptor might be a better way to do it.

I'm happy to fork and add my own custom logic, but I'd prefer to use the built-in features if I can. However, if you think that trying to use advstory in this way is a terrible idea, I'd also be keen to know that before I get too far down the investigation path.

No a problem, but something useful was taken from first release.

Describe the solution you'd like
The first release had a few different stories and a nice JSON file to see how everything works. Bring back the JSON file. The JSON helped show how to model real world input data and parse it.

Add a couple more different stories so you can see how the JSON should be structured and to get a feel what it's like to advance to the next story when viewing it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the data file from the previous release.

Additional context
Nested data can get a little tricky so it's nice to see how you consume and parse it into different stories.

This plugin is really awesome, but it only has a little problem when you try to make the stories dynamics with Provider plugin, because when you want to watch the changes of the stories array with provider the AdvStory plugin doesn't redraw and when you click on a story it throw the following error, because it didn't update the list in the widget. ══╡ EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY WIDGETS LIBRARY ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The following RangeError was thrown building: RangeError (index): Invalid value: Only valid value is 0: 7

Is there any way to make this plugin work listening to a provider variable ?

i would like to be able to scroll up and down like instagram reels or tiktok videos is there's any possible way to do so ?
the package is amazing and it's pretty snappy Thanks in Advance

How can I implement seen feature like when I already saw the content It will jump to next content which not yet viewed?

Currently, when the tray open I can't skip or jump it using the controller listener.

Suddenly skipped to next content when I open and close the keyboard (3 times in row) without any tapping on the content. I just open the keyboard via TextField and close it using DONE action in KB.

I will share screen record below, I hope you can view it...

The terms cluster and story are a bit confusing the way you are using them. I think of a Cluster as a set of Stories. I think of a Story as a set of items/pages/slides. It seems that you are calling each item/slide a story, rather than a story item or page or slide.

storyCount to me would actually be what makes up a cluster. ex a cluster may have 7 stories. so that would be clusterCount: 7 but then that sounds like there are 7 clusters when it actually means there are 7 stories.

Describe the solution you'd like
Redefine/rename clusterCount to storyCount
ex: how many stories are in tray

Redefine/rename storyCount to storyItemCount
ex: how many items within a story

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
You may not even need the name cluster anywhere, it's a bit confusing.

Awesome job BTW!

There is no problem, only opportunity.
The widget type is limitless which is great, but what if you want different widget types for say "Image with text" or "3 image rows" or "Video with scrolling text" or "Video with image overlay"?

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow devs to define custom content types with templates. Could be as simple as placing dart files within a content_type or content_template folder: image_with_text.dart, three_image_rows.dart, video_with_scrolling_text.dart or video_with_image_overlay.dart

The syntax in the template file could look something like:
ContentTypeVideoWithScrollingText
or
ContentType.videoWithScrollingText
or
SlideTemplateVideoWithScrollingText
or
SlideTemplate.videoWithScrollingText

Then in the "cluster" json that populates the stories, you could simply specify what content type / content template will be used for each individual slide. ex ImageWithTextSlide, VideoWithScrollingTextSlide, MyCustomTemplateSlide or ContentType.myCustomTemplate or Slide.myNewSlideTemplate along with your built in ImageSlide VideoSlide WidgetContent.

`ContentType: 'VideoWithScrollingText' {
videoUrl: 'https://mysite.com/linktovideo.mp4'
scrollingText: 'this is the text i want to scroll'
}
`

or

`SlideType: 'ImageWithText' {
videoUrl: 'https://mysite.com/linktovideo.mp4'
scrollingText: 'this is the text i want to scroll'
}
`

or

`Template: 'Advertisement' {
videoUrl: 'https://mysite.com/linktovideo.mp4'
Text: 'Order Now!'
link: 'https://mylink.com/ordernow'
backgroundImageUrl: 'https://mysite.com/bgimage.png'
}
`

Hacking and breaking your code

Additional context
Your story player outperforms all other packages I've tried. I appreciate your built in functionality and your opinionated approach as is. I think if you break it up a bit and modularize it a bit, it could become one of the more powerful packages for content display, particularly in this full screen story format. Not sure of your goals with this package though.

Not sure how much I can help with code, I'm not an expert. I've never done a PR and still wrapping my head around your code. I can do product development and map things out no problem, but implementing them into your code might be tough.

I can do a $ bounty to get this implemented with the other features if it can become a priority.

Advstory is the best performing video playback package i've used. Preloading and caching second to none. Only issue is that you are kinda forced into the story format and into an opinionated way of navigating and gestures.

Describe the solution you'd like
A simple PageView solution that preloads & caches videos. Then the developers can do whatever they want from that point on. Video playback is a huge pain point in flutter and Advstory solves it but kinda forces you into a certain format.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Hacking advstory. Starting from the ground up.
