[video_player_web] Support videos of infinite duration #90038
Description
Use case
Currently, there is no way to play videos of infinite duration (e.g. recorded with html.MediaRecorder, see Chromium issue) as the following error is thrown:
errors.dart:202 Uncaught Error: Unsupported operation: Infinity
at Object.throw_ [as throw] (errors.dart:251)
at Number.[dartx.round] (js_number.dart:109)
at video_player_web._VideoPlayer.new.sendInitialized (video_player_web.dart:298)
at video_player_web.dart:201
at Object._checkAndCall (operations.dart:334)
at Object.dcall (operations.dart:339)
at HTMLVideoElement.<anonymous> (html_dart2js.dart:37308)
This is related to VideoPlayer.sendInitialized which expects a video duration to be a finite number here.
It would be nice to be able to play videos of infinite duration, for instance, a recorded camera stream with the camera plugin.
