The player is not loading

[sourav-android]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Package

youtube_player_flutter

What happened?

I am using the youtube_player_flutter: ^8.1.2 along with carousel_slider: ^4.2.1 but the player is never initialized.
I haven't found any solution to it so far. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the expected behaviour?

it should play the video at the end of the list where I have the video url. I can see the videoId is extracted and everything works except the fact that youtube player is never initialized or ready.

How to reproduce?

environment:
sdk: ">=2.18.2 <3.0.0"
youtube_player_flutter: ^8.1.2
carousel_slider: ^4.2.1
