Video methods can only be called if they are binded to some events about flet

[FeodorFitsner]

Adding a small delay makes second example work:

import time
import flet as ft


def main(page: ft.Page):
    sample_media = [
        ft.VideoMedia("https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28951144/229373720-14d69157-1a56-4a78-a2f4-d7a134d7c3e9.mp4")
    ]

    page.theme_mode = ft.ThemeMode.DARK
    page.title = "Test app"
    page.padding = 0
    page.horizontal_alignment = ft.CrossAxisAlignment.CENTER
    page.add(
        video := ft.Video(
            expand=True,
            playlist=sample_media,
            playlist_mode=ft.PlaylistMode.SINGLE,
            fill_color=ft.colors.BACKGROUND,
            aspect_ratio=16 / 9,
            volume=100,
            autoplay=True,
            filter_quality=ft.FilterQuality.LOW,
            muted=False,
            wakelock=True,
            show_controls=False,
        )
    )
    time.sleep(2)
    print(video.is_playing())


ft.app(target=main)

This could be explained by video is not rendered/initialized when we call video.is_playing().
We need to figure out how to chain/synchronize that.

[FeodorFitsner]

Ideally, you should call is_playing() in on_loaded event handler.
Imagine, that video is being loaded in 10 seconds or longer. page.add method is not synchronous anyway, but you are trying to poll if it's playing right away.

Btw, it's not working when calling inside on_loaded too. Will be looking into that issue - looks like a bug.

Could use add the track stream to video? Currently no way to know which video is playing...

Perhaps a good way to track this is to add an on_media_changed event with the media source parameter and its index in the playlist. It might also be useful to implement events such as on_player_start and on_player_completed.
