How can we use YoutTubePlayerScaffold with a deeply nested structure?

[mark8044]

Right now I have an outer Scaffold with multiple levels of deeply nested widgets. Inside one of those deeply nested widgets (about 5-6 levels deep) is where my YoutubePlayer widget sits. My YoutubePlayer widget is a stateful widget which dynamically gets its videoId based on RESTful data pulled from a remote source.

With this new YoutTubePlayerScaffold method, I have to place it above the main Scaffold and define the controller very early on. Then I have to use builder to pass a player param down 5-6 levels of nesting. Then within the nested level I have to pass a Youtube video ID back up to the root, probably via some kind of state management system.

This seems very very tedious. Is it possible to have the YoutubePlayerScaffold exist without the controller which can at least be controlled at the YoutubePlayer widget level?

This part seemed to be working much better pre 3.x

final controller = YoutubePlayerController();

YoutubePlayerScaffold(
  controller: controller,
  builder: (context, player) {
    return NestedWidget();
  }
),


NestedWidget{ 
   initState() {
      fetchIdFromRest.then((id) {
         context.ytController.loadVideoById(videoId: id);
      });
   }

   build(context) {
      return Scaffold(
        body: YoutubePlayer.of(context), // I'll add this in the next update.
      );
   }
}

@mark8044 Can you not do something like this ?

Seems interesting, I can try that when YoutubePlayer.of(context) is working
