kidd_video_player 0.0.11

Flutter package for creating a video player in the simplest and most customizable way as possible.

kidd_video_player package

Summary

The main goal in this project is to add a video player to a flutter application in the simplest and most customizable possible way as possible. Taking as input a source file or url, the player loads the video and plays it.

Installation

Dependencies:

In order to make it work, you need to add video_player package to your dependencies:

Step 1

In your pubspec.yml, add:

dependencies:
   flutter:
	sdk:
   ...
   video_player:
   kidd_video_player: 

Step 2

Open your terminal and run:

flutter pub get

Step 3

Import the script into the dart file that will contain the widget that uses the video player as a child:

import  'package:kidd_video_player/kidd_video_player.dart';

Step 4

Let's code a simple example. Put the KiddVideoPlayer() class as a child of some widget with the following parameters:

...
child: Container(
    width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
    height: 500,
    child: KiddVideoPlayer(
	    fromUrl: true,
	    videoUrl: "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"
	),
),
...

Considerations

For Android:

Be sure that the following line appears in the <application ...> tag located in <project root>/android/app/src/main/Mainfest.xml:

<application 
    ...
    android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
    ...

And the line below outside the <application ...> tag:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
...
<application 
...

This entry allows your app to access video files by URL.

For iOS

Warning: The video player is not functional on iOS simulators. An iOS device must be used during development/testing.

Add the following entry to your Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
  <true/>
</dict>

This entry allows your app to access video files by URL.
