Additional information

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

I think we should remove the NetworkObserver for the library. For now you can just disable it.

[barnhill]

Is there a built in way to disable this network observer?

[barnhill]

never mind ... the handleNetworkEvents on initialize is how this is done.

[barnhill]

Do we want to keep this open to allow for the work to remove the network observer? Or close it?

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

Let's keep it open until it's removed, thanks

[barnhill]

I have seen mixed thoughts on this throughout the community but wanted to ask your opinion. If the player is not showing the video but playing just audio is that a violation of the TOS? Or continuing to play the video when in the background via a foreground service?

Seems unrelated to this issue. For the future: please open separate issues for different problems/questions.

To answer your question: as far as I remember yes. YouTube doesn't want the audio of a video to be played without the video being shown.

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

@barnhill could you share the code that was causing the TooManyRequestsException?

[PierfrancescoSoffritti]

I think this might not necessarily be a bug in the library, but in your compose code that is re-creating the view way too many times.

[demadima]

I thought that Jetpack Compose is smart and do not recompose UI if variable always the same. Like in my case I have variable trailerId which first time is empty and I check that by IF.
And then new data come from server where then Compose must draw UI and invoke only one time even if the main state changed.

So I think it can't draw several times. And also I see that bug when I first time visit my screen. Of course this can be random. Not always it appears. It can be like in first time when i came on the screen and can be on 50 time.

[demadima]

if (trailerId.isNotBlank()) {
Log.d("*************","Recompose UI $trailerId")
AndroidView(

i added log and checked it , appears two times

18:43:32.787 D Recompose UI B5L6ltTY8PY
18:43:34.540 D Recompose UI B5L6ltTY8PY

First log i think it is when data came from server and second when state isPlayerReady changed. I do not think this is main problem for this bug. But if u think so, please give me advice how can i improve it to fix problem.
