flutter_fling

Simple plugin to cast media to FireStick and FireTv.

Utilises Amazon's Fling SDK.

NOTE: This plugin currently fling/cast from Android Devices. iOS support soon.

Installation

Add package to pubspec.yaml

flutter_fling: ^2.0.1

Add import

import 'package:flutter_fling/flutter_fling.dart';

Usage

Get Players

FlutterFling.startPlayerDiscovery((status, player) {
	if (_flingDevices ==  null) _flingDevices =  List();
	if (status ==  PlayerDiscoveryStatus.FOUND) 
		_flingDevices.add(player);
	else 
		_flingDevices.remove(player);
});
  • Note: set callback as null to remove listener. You should clean up callback to prevent from leaking references.

Play media and listen for media state

FlutterFling.play((state, condition, position) {
		_mediaState =  '$state';
		_mediaCondition =  '$condition';
		_mediaPosition =  '$position';
	},
	player: _selectedPlayer,
	mediaUri: "media_link_here",
	mediaTitle:  "Some Video",
)
  • Note: set callback as null to remove listener. You should clean up callback to prevent from leaking references.

Pause Player

await FlutterFling.pausePlayer();

Resume Player

await FlutterFling.playPlayer();

Stop Player

await FlutterFling.stopPlayer();

Seek Forward Player (+10 sec)

await FlutterFling.seekForwardPlayer();

Seek Back Player (-10 sec)

await FlutterFling.seekBackPlayer();

Seek To Player

await FlutterFling.seekToPlayer(position: 30000)

Mute/Unmute Player

await FlutterFling.mutePlayer(bool);

Remove Controller when done

Note: This result in loss of control over playing media though playback itself isn't stopped. Required for cleanup.

await FlutterFling.stopDiscoveryController();

Possible States:

enum  PlayerDiscoveryStatus { Found, Lost }

enum  MediaState { NoSource, PreparingMedia, ReadyToPlay, Playing, Paused, Seeking, Finished, Error }

enum  MediaCondition { Good, WarningContent, WarningBandwidth, ErrorContent, ErrorChannel, ErrorUnknown }
