Platform Setup

Android

PiP support in your app AndroidManifest.xml activity:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
    android:resizeableActivity="true"
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode" />

iOS

For background playback/PiP behavior, enable audio background mode in Info.plist:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
  <string>audio</string>
</array>

Quick Start

import 'package:bunny_video_player/bunny_video_player.dart';

final controller = BunnyVideoController(playerId: 0);

await controller.initialize(
  libraryId: '596670',
  videoId: 'your-video-id',
  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
  autoPlay: false,
  looping: false,
  allowBackgroundPlayback: true,
);

Render native view:

BunnyVideoView(
  playerId: 0,
  config: const BunnyPlayerViewConfig(),
)

Controller API

await controller.play();
await controller.pause();
await controller.seekTo(const Duration(seconds: 10));
await controller.setPlaybackSpeed(1.25);
await controller.setVolume(0.8);
await controller.setLooping(true);
await controller.enterPictureInPicture();
await controller.exitPictureInPicture();
await controller.refreshSignedUrl('https://...');
await controller.dispose();

Switch to another video source on same controller:

await controller.switchSource(
  libraryId: '596670',
  videoId: 'another-video-id',
  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
  keepPlaybackState: true,
);

Event Streams

controller.playbackStateStream.listen((state) {});
controller.positionStream.listen((position) {});
controller.bufferedStream.listen((buffered) {});
controller.errorStream.listen((message) {});
controller.pipModeStream.listen((isInPip) {});

BunnyPlaybackState values:
