Implementation

Future<void> setSourceUrl(String url, {String? mimeType}) async {
  if (!kIsWeb &&
      defaultTargetPlatform != TargetPlatform.android &&
      url.startsWith('data:')) {
    // Convert data URI's to bytes (native support for web and android).
    final uriData = UriData.fromUri(Uri.parse(url));
    mimeType ??= url.substring(url.indexOf(':') + 1, url.indexOf(';'));
    await setSourceBytes(uriData.contentAsBytes(), mimeType: mimeType);
    return;
  }

  _source = UrlSource(url, mimeType: mimeType);
  // Encode remote url to avoid unexpected failures.
  await _completePrepared(
    () => _platform.setSourceUrl(
      playerId,
      UriCoder.encodeOnce(url),
      mimeType: mimeType,
      isLocal: false,
    ),
  );
