        future: ListAllVideos().getAllVideosPath(),
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          return snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting
              ? const Center(
                  child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
                )
              : ListView.separated(
                  itemBuilder: (context, index) {
                    VideoDetails currentVideo = snapshot.data![index];
                    return ListTile(
                        title: Text(currentVideo.videoName),
                        subtitle: Text(currentVideo.videoSize),
                        leading: ThumbnailTile(
                          thumbnailController: currentVideo.thumbnailController,
                          height: 80,
                          width: 100,

                  separatorBuilder: (context, index) => const Divider(),

Tips

    late List<VideoDetails> listOfVideos;
    ListAllVideos obj = ListAllVideos();
    obj.getAllVideos().then((value) {
        listOfVideos = value;
    });
    obj.permissionStatus;//returns the storage permission status.
    obj.androidVersion; // returns the android version.

• permissionStatus will be null until getAllVideos is called.
• Use FutureBuilder and call getAllVideos() in it.

VideoDetails class

    VideoDetails sampleVideo = VideoDetails('path_to_video');
    sampleVideo.thumbnailController;
    sampleVideo.videoName; //Name of the video.
    sampleVideo.videoPath; //Path of the video in your storage.
    sampleVideo.videoSize; //Size of the video. 

ThumbnailController

ThumbnailController thumbnailController = ThumbnailController(videoPath: 'path_to_video');
String thumbnailPath = await thumbnailController.initThumbnail(); // returns the path of generated thumbnail.
thumbnailController.isInitialized; // returns true if the thumbnail is generated.
thumbnailController.thumbnailPath; //returns the path of generated thumbnail

• ThumbnailController class can be used for generating thumbnail for any videos.
• initThumbnail() might be called to initilaze thumbnail.
• initThumbnail() might be called before using thumnailController.thumbanailPath.
