fix: loop no smooth on Ios player

[YoussefHachicha]

Summary

• Fix the noticeable delay when video loops on iOS by using precise seeking with completion handler
• The seek operation now waits for completion before resuming playback
• Playback resumes on the main thread for thread safety

Changes

• Use seekToTime with zero tolerance (toleranceBefore and toleranceAfter) for precise seeking
• Wait for seek completion via callback before calling playImmediatelyAtRate
• Dispatch playback resume to main queue

Test plan

• Play a short video with loop enabled on iOS
• Observe the loop point - should be seamless without visible delay
• Test with different video lengths
• Test remote and local videos

Fixes #126

Thank you very much, I think this should fix the issue. Could you provide a screen recording showing before and after the change?

sorry, can you check with a sample like this https://pixabay.com/videos/neon-terrain-80-retro-abstract-21368/ ? (download it)

PR #164 looks good, and the zero-tolerance seek with playback resumed after completion makes sense for avoiding loop stutter on iOS.
If helpful, I can assist with verification (pixabay sample, different playback speeds, background/foreground) or add a short test checklist after merge.

Thanks Mario! 🙌

@marioortizmanero
Just to clarify, PR #164 was implemented and merged by @YoussefHachicha , so the bounty should go to them.

If you need any additional testing, verification on iOS, or follow-up fixes after your testing next week, I’m happy to help.

Hey sorry for being so late in the end. I'm running the side-by-side comparison but I think this isn't fixed for me yet? I've tried on an iPhone SE. Here's the before and after, and the original video:

Before this patch:

ScreenRecording_02-22-2026.17-23-46_1.MP4

After this patch:

ScreenRecording_02-22-2026.17-32-55_1.MP4

Here's the original video:

JUMPING_JACKS.mp4

And here's the original video playing multiple times in a row to show the expected smoothness (just copy-pasted the track 4 times on CapCut):

0222.mp4

My code is just:

@Composable
fun VideoLoopReproduction() {
    val videoPlayerState = rememberVideoPlayerState()

    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
        videoPlayerState.volume = 0f
        videoPlayerState.loop = true
        videoPlayerState.openUri("https://example.com/video.mp4")
    }

    VideoPlayer(videoPlayerState)
}

Also @kdroidFilter I think 0.8.8 is missing on Maven, I just did these tests locally
