Multiple PlayerController Android issue

[Yousef-Alabdulhadi]

Describe the bug
I have a chat app where if one waveform exists, it's fine. Adding another widget to the list that's not related to it breaks it. Works fine on iOS.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce

Have multiple widgets that use a playercontroller in the widget tree.

Expected behavior
On iOS you should be able to play which ever you want. On android it just break and it also does not throw an error. It will be stuck in prepare player.
Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: S21
• OS: Android 14

@Yousef-Alabdulhadi Can you please share reproducible code so that we can find the issue?

This is how im preparing it

late final PlayerController playerController;

@OverRide
initState() {
super.initState();
playerController = PlayerController();
}

Future preparePlayer() async {
if (audioPath == null) return;
debugPrint('Preparing player');

preparing = true;
if (mounted) setState(() {});

try {
  await playerController
      .preparePlayer(
    path: audioPath!,
    volume: 1.0,
  )
      .timeout(Duration(seconds: 6), onTimeout: () {
    debugPrint('Timeout');
    preparing = false;
    prepared = false;
    if (mounted) setState(() {});
    return;
  });
} catch (e) {
  debugPrint(e.toString());
  debugPrint('Timeout');
  preparing = false;
  prepared = false;
  if (mounted) setState(() {});
  return;
}

await playerController.extractWaveformData(
  path: audioPath!,
  noOfSamples: playerWaveStyle.getSamplesForWidth(width),
);

playDuration = playerController.maxDuration ~/ 1000;
widget.message.duration = playDuration;

await db.messageDao.updateDuration(widget.message.id, playDuration);
playerController.onPlayerStateChanged.listen((state) {
  if (mounted) setState(() {});
});

playerController.onCurrentDurationChanged.listen((duration) {
  playDuration = duration ~/ 1000;
  if (mounted) setState(() {});
});
prepared = true;
preparing = false;
if (mounted) setState(() {});

}

@Yousef-Alabdulhadi The only issue with shared code I see is that you're calling extractWaveformData and preparePlayer(shouldExtractWaveform: true(default)) so waveforms are extracted by default with preparePlayer. In this case, you don't have call extractWaveformData again for this. Other than that I will check how you using it in the widget tree and are you using same controller for all widget?
