Why Ziggeo's Flutter SDK?

Ziggeo is powerfull whitelabel video SAAS that helps people be part and lead the video revolution. It has award winning multimedia API and its CEO and CTO can often be seen talking in various events around the world.

Ziggeo's Flutter SDK is utilizing the API to bring you a native library you can add to your project. Just add to project and allow your application evolve into something much more, something video!

It offers you pre-built functionality to call and manipulate. This library also offers you direct access to the Ziggeo API as well if you want to do more things yourself.

Who it is for?

Do you have a complex Flutter app that is missing that one key ingredient - the video?

Do you need a video library that can be seamlesly integrated into your existing app?

Want something that is simple and easy to use?

You need some powerful features high end video apps provide?

Want to provide a great video experience for your own customers?

If any of the above is "Yes" then you are in the right place as this SDK is for you!

Codes

This section will introduce you to the most common ways you would integrate our video library into your app.

Init

final String appToken = "YOUR_APP_TOKEN_HERE";
Ziggeo ziggeo = new Ziggeo(appToken);

Recorder

The fullscreen recorder is useful when you want your recorder to take entire screen.

The embedded recorder is useful when you want your recorder to be part of your app. For example if you had an avatar in your app and you want it to be a quick video.

Create fullscreen Video Recorder

ziggeo.startCameraRecorder();
  • See examples section to see how to configure the recorder with more specific options, instead of using defaults

Player

Player can be used to play local videos, videos from other services and of course videos from Ziggeo servers.

Create fullscreen Video Player

URI playback

ziggeo.startPlayerFromPath(List<String> videoPaths);

Playback from Ziggeo servers

ziggeo.startPlayerFromToken(List<String> videoTokens);

Events / Callbacks

Callbacks allow you to know when something happens. They fire in case of some event happening, such as if error occurs. This way you can design your app to fine detail and be able to provide you customers with great experience.

We have separated the events that are available to you into several different categories.

Common

Common callbacks happen for both player and recorder, each callback has additional details next to it.

Ups, something unexpected happened! Now it's your time to react.

onError: (exception) => {}

Some permissions are not given, so we can not do much at this point

onAccessForbidden: (permissions) => {}

Recorder

The callbacks in this section are specific to recorder only. This means that they will not fire for the player at all.

Recording has just started

onRecordingStarted: () => {}

Want to detect if someone cancels the recording?

onCanceledByUser: () => {}

Recording has just finished

onRecordingStopped: (path) => {}

Want to know when upload starts?

onUploadingStarted: (path) => {}

Want to know the progress of the uploads?

onUploadProgress: (token, path, current, total) => {}

Want to know once upload finishes?

onUploaded: (token, path) => {}

Want to know if the video can be processed?

  • This utilizes our quick check algorithm to inspect the video before it is sent to processing and see that it can actually be processed. This allows you to react if something is wrong with the video
onVerified: (token) =>  {}

Interested in the progress of the processing / transcoding of the video?

onProcessing: (token) => {}

Interested knowing when the video is successfully processed?

onProcessed: (token) => {}

API

Authentication

Our API is utilizing patent pending authorization token system. It allows you to secure and fine tune what someone can do and for how long.

The following will be needed if you have enabled the authorization tokens in your app.

Client Auth

ziggeo.setClientAuthToken(String token)

Server Auth

ziggeo.setServerAuthToken(String token);

Examples

Configure the recorder

Our recorder is utilizing helper class to define different properties of the recorder element. So we would always define it first

var recorderConfig = new RecorderConfig()

Set max duration

recorderConfig.maxDuration = 0; // seconds, 0 - endless by default

Set countdown time

recorderConfig.startDelay = 3; // seconds, default

Auto start recorder

recorderConfig.shouldAutoStartRecording = false; // default

Set which camera you prefer

recorderConfig.facing = RecorderConfig.facingBack; // default

Set the quality of recording

recorderConfig.videoQuality = RecorderConfig.qualityHigh; // default

Can camera be switched during recording?

recorderConfig.shouldDisableCameraSwitch = false; // default

Should video be sent to Ziggeo servers right away?

recorderConfig.shouldSendImmediately = true; // default

Show stop dialog

recorderConfig.shouldConfirmStopRecording = true; // default

Register events listener

recorderConfig.eventsListener = new RecorderEventsListener(...)

Extra arguments to be sent

recorderConfig.extraArgs = map;

This can be used to specify effect profiles, video profiles, custom data, etc.

Extra arguments examples

Custom data

var args = new Map<String, dynamic>();
args["data"] = "{\"key\":\"value\"}";
recorderConfig.extraArgs = args;

Effect Profile

var args = new Map<String, dynamic>();
args["effect_profile"] = "1234567890";
recorderConfig.extraArgs = args;

Video Profile

var args = new Map<String, dynamic>();
args["video_profile"] = "1234567890";
recorderConfig.extraArgs = args;
