[Bug]: Infinite loading when using the progress bar / +10 -10 buttons

[HeropolisDa2ny]

When using the chewie video player and using the progress bar / +10 -10 buttons, an infinite loader appears and never wants to disappear.

Usage :

ChewieController(
    videoPlayerController: _controller!,
    looping: true, // Because there is a bug of infinite loader (https://github.com/fluttercommunity/chewie/issues/906)
    customControls: CupertinoControls(
        backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
        iconColor: Colors.white,
    ),
)

Chewie(controller: _chewieController!)

Actions :

- I play the video
- I scroll the video progress bar to the right / left OR I use the +10 -10 buttons
-> An infinite loader appears

Package version : chewie: ^1.11.0

Same problem here, please note that the issue is Android only.

@HeropolisDa2ny : I have found a workaround that should do the job until the fix referenced above goes to production.
The thing is to add a long duration for the loader to appear. Then nothing is blocked anymore even at the end of the video! No need for looping too. It just shows the video paused and played each time seek to is called... which seems related to the cause of the bug.
Please note it does not seem to be available for non chewie users... Il will post it on the ticket though precising it.

 _chewieController = ChewieController(
          videoPlayerController: _videoPlayerController,
          progressIndicatorDelay:
              PlatformProvider.isAndroid() ? const Duration(days: 1) : null,
        );
