VideoPlayerController.file constructor

VideoPlayerController.file(
  1. File file, {
  2. Future<ClosedCaptionFile>? closedCaptionFile,
  3. VideoPlayerOptions? videoPlayerOptions,
  4. VideoViewType viewType = VideoViewType.textureView,
  5. Map<String, String> httpHeaders = const <String, String>{},
})

This will load the file from a file:// URI constructed from file's path. httpHeaders option allows to specify HTTP headers, mainly used for hls files like (m3u8).

Implementation

VideoPlayerController.file(
  File file, {
  Future<ClosedCaptionFile>? closedCaptionFile,
  this.videoPlayerOptions,
  this.viewType = VideoViewType.textureView,
  this.httpHeaders = const <String, String>{},
}) : _closedCaptionFileFuture = closedCaptionFile,
     dataSource = Uri.file(file.absolute.path).toString(),
     dataSourceType = DataSourceType.file,
     package = null,
     formatHint = null,
     super(const VideoPlayerValue(duration: Duration.zero));
