Null Safety 2.0 with Chromecast, Airplay Platform specific updates

[tsvillain]

Below is the list of updates made on this plugin to work with the latest Flutter projects

• Migrate to Null Safety

Chromecast specific updates:

• position() returns current position of casted video in Future<Duration?>.
• duration() returns the full duration of the casted video in Future<Duration?>.
• setVolume(volume: 0.8) used to set the chromecast volume value can be from 0 to 1 (0.8 = 80% volume).
• getVolume() returns current volume of the chromecast device in Future<double>.
• endSession() as the name suggest will end the current session with chromecast device.

Airplay specific updates:

• isAirplayConnected return true if airplay is connected.

Hi @tsvillain, i found a problem with the package:

It is stated that we need to use FlutterFragmentActivity with CastContext.getSharedInstance(applicationContext), but if i use this my app lose the hability to DeepLink (use external links as directions to routes).

Deeplinking works if i use FlutterActivity instead of FlutterFragmentActivity, but the ChromeCast Button crashes the app when pressed.

How it works with DeepLinking but crashes on press:

How it breaks DeepLinking:

I need to use the AudioService package due to some other things that i do in the app, but i found no problem keeping it in the same method in the second image (i cropped it from the image)

This should be on StackOverflow.
Flutter folks can help you there.

@tsvillain onSessionEnded callback method called I tried to get the video's last position; however, it always returns the position I start to cast. Do you guys have any idea to solve this issue? (For example, video duration is 60 seconds, I started to cast at 10th seconds, I seek to 30th seconds. Then, I ended the session. When on onSessionEnded callback method, I call position method, and it returns 10th seconds.)

Sí, es compatible con ese formato.

My m3u8 video files use headers in order to play. How can I send the headers along with the url of the m3u8.
