controller = new Controller(
  items: [
    new PlayerItem(
      title: 'video 1',
      url:
          'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/butterfly.mp4',
    ),
    new PlayerItem(
      title: 'video 2',
      url:
          'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/butterfly.mp4',
    ),
    new PlayerItem(
      title: 'video 3',
      url:
          'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/butterfly.mp4',
    ),
  ],
  autoPlay: true,
  autoInitialize: true,
  isLooping: false,
  videoSource: VideoSource.NETWORK,
  aspectRatio: 16 / 9,

  //optional parameters
  // showSeekButtons: false,
  // showSkipButtons: false,
  // startAt: Duration(seconds: 2),
  // allowedScreenSleep: false,
  // hasSubtitles: true,
  placeholder: new Container(
    color: Colors.grey,
  ),
  isPlaying: (isPlaying) {
    //
    print(isPlaying);
  },
  playerItem: (playerItem) {
    print('Player title: ' + playerItem.title);
    print('position: ' + playerItem.position.inSeconds.toString());
    print('Duration: ' + playerItem.duration.inSeconds.toString());
  });
