Hi @lix-wood
Thanks for the report. It is difficult to tell if this is a bug in the first-party video_player plugin, or an issue with how the third-party chewie package manages the widget tree during fullscreen route transitions.
To help us investigate, could you please:
Provide a minimal reproducible code sample that does not use the chewie package. Try to implement the fullscreen push manually using only video_player to see if the freeze still occurs.
Run flutter upgrade to ensure this hasn't already been fixed in the latest stable release.
Provide the full output of flutter doctor -v (currently missing).

Summary of findings on the "frozen video" bug after exiting full screen (PlatformView mode):
After deep investigation, this issue appears to be an architectural incompatibility between Chewie's fullscreen implementation and Flutter's PlatformView rendering.
Root Cause
Chewie handles fullscreen by pushing a new
PageRoute. InVideoViewType.platformViewmode, this forced route transition disrupts the connection between the FlutterVideoPlayerwidget and the underlying native surface.Verification Results
I performed several cross-tests to confirm this:
Stack(noNavigator.push). Since the widget instance remains the same, thePlatformViewconnection stays stable.Conclusion
This is not a bug in the Flutter engine, but a limitation of using
Navigator-based fullscreen transitions withPlatformView.Suggested Workaround
VideoViewType.textureViewfor best compatibility with Chewie.platformViewis required, avoid usingNavigatorfor fullscreen; instead, use an in-place layout transformation.lix-wood commentedon Mar 30, 2026

Hi @lix-wood , thank you for providing a code sample without external packages. I was able to reproduce the issue on Flutter 3.41.4, after exiting full-screen audio continues playing, but video stops, video_player video_player: ^2.11.1 when viewType: VideoViewType.platformView,
Routing this to team-android for further investigation.

Update: I would like to correct my previous comment. I originally didn't look closely enough at the reproduction demo provided and was instead testing with my own "Stack-based" fullscreen implementation, which behaved differently.
Upon further investigation of the Navigator-based transition used in the original reproduction case, I found that the native Surface is indeed detached during the route transition. While I previously suggested a workaround, I have now discovered a way to handle this recovery directly within the engine by listening to visibility changes.
I've submitted a PR [https://github.com/flutter/packages/pull/11416] that implements a robust re-binding mechanism in the Android PlatformView, which should resolve the rendering freeze for all Navigator-based fullscreen transitions.

Okay, thank you very much for your help!
