Methods

addEventsListener(dynamic eventListener(BetterPlayerEvent)) → void

Add event listener which listens to player events.

cancelNextVideoTimer() → void

Cancel next video timer. Used in playlist. Do not use manually.

clearCache() → Future<void>

Clear all cached data. Video player controller must be initialized to clear the cache.

disablePictureInPicture() → Future<void>?

Disable Picture in Picture mode if it's enabled.

dispose({bool forceDispose = false}) → void

Dispose BetterPlayerController. When forceDispose parameter is true, then autoDispose parameter will be overridden and controller will be disposed (if it wasn't disposed before).

enablePictureInPicture(GlobalKey<State<StatefulWidget>> betterPlayerGlobalKey) → Future<void>?

Enable Picture in Picture (PiP) mode. betterPlayerGlobalKey is required to open PiP mode in iOS. When device is not supported, PiP mode won't be open.

enterFullScreen() → void

Enables full screen mode in player. This will trigger route change.

exitFullScreen() → void

Disables full screen mode in player. This will trigger route change.

getAspectRatio() → double?

Get aspect ratio used in current video. If aspect ratio is null, then aspect ratio from BetterPlayerConfiguration will be used. Otherwise _overriddenAspectRatio will be used.

isBuffering() → bool?

Flag which determines whenever player is loading video data or not.

isLiveStream() → bool

Flag which determines whenever player is playing live data source.

isPictureInPictureSupported() → Future<bool>

Check if picture in picture mode is supported in this device.

isPlaying() → bool?

Flag which determines whenever player is playing or not.

isVideoInitialized() → bool?

Flag which determines whenever player data source has been initialized.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]

inherited

onPlayerVisibilityChanged(double visibilityFraction) → void

Listener which handles state of player visibility. If player visibility is below 0.0 then video will be paused. When value is greater than 0, video will play again. If there's different handler of visibility then it will be used. If showNotification is set in data source or handleLifecycle is false then this logic will be ignored.

pause() → Future<void>

Stop video playback.

play() → Future<void>

Start video playback. Play will be triggered only if current lifecycle state is resumed.

playNextVideo() → void

Play next video form playlist. Do not use manually.

postEvent(BetterPlayerEvent betterPlayerEvent) → void

Send player event. Shouldn't be used manually.

preCache(BetterPlayerDataSource betterPlayerDataSource) → Future<void>

PreCache a video. Currently supports Android only. The future succeed when the requested size, specified in BetterPlayerCacheConfiguration.preCacheSize, is downloaded or when the complete file is downloaded if the file is smaller than the requested size.

removeEventsListener(dynamic eventListener(BetterPlayerEvent)) → void

Remove event listener. This method should be called once you're disposing Better Player.

retryDataSource() → Future

Retry data source if playback failed.

seekTo(Duration moment) → Future<void>

Move player to specific position/moment of the video.

setAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState appLifecycleState) → void

Set current lifecycle state. If state is AppLifecycleState.resumed then player starts playing again. if lifecycle is in AppLifecycleState.paused state, then video playback will stop. If showNotification is set in data source or handleLifecycle is false then this logic will be ignored.

setAudioTrack(BetterPlayerAsmsAudioTrack audioTrack) → void

Set audioTrack in player. Works only for HLS or DASH streams.

setBetterPlayerGlobalKey(GlobalKey<State<StatefulWidget>> betterPlayerGlobalKey) → void

Set GlobalKey of BetterPlayer. Used in PiP methods called from controls.

setControlsAlwaysVisible(bool controlsAlwaysVisible) → void

Setup controls always visible mode

setControlsEnabled(bool enabled) → void

setOverriddenAspectRatio(double aspectRatio) → void

Setup overridden aspect ratio.

setResolution(String url) → void

Set different resolution (quality) for video

setSpeed(double speed) → Future<void>

Set playback speed of video. Allows to set speed value between 0 and 2.

setTrack(BetterPlayerAsmsTrack track) → void

Setup track parameters for currently played video. Can be only used for HLS or DASH data source.

setupDataSource(BetterPlayerDataSource betterPlayerDataSource) → Future

Setup new data source in Better Player.

setupSubtitleSource(BetterPlayerSubtitlesSource subtitlesSource, {bool sourceInitialize = false}) → Future<void>

Setup subtitles to be displayed from given subtitle source. If subtitles source is segmented then don't load videos at start. Videos will load with just in time policy.

setupTranslations(Locale locale) → void

Setup translations for given locale. In normal use cases it shouldn't be called manually.

setVolume(double volume) → Future<void>

Set volume of player. Allows values from 0.0 to 1.0.

startNextVideoTimer() → void

Start timer which will trigger next video. Used in playlist. Do not use manually.

stopPreCache(BetterPlayerDataSource betterPlayerDataSource) → Future<void>

Stop pre cache for given betterPlayerDataSource. If there was no pre cache started for given betterPlayerDataSource then it will be ignored.

toggleControlsVisibility(bool isVisible) → void

Internal method, used to trigger CONTROLS_VISIBLE or CONTROLS_HIDDEN event once controls state changed.

toggleFullScreen() → void

Enables/disables full screen mode based on current fullscreen state.

toString() → String
