youtube_player_flutter_plus 9.0.0

Flutter plugin for playing or streaming inline YouTube videos using the official iFrame player API. This plugin supports both Android and iOS.

Flutter plugin for playing or streaming YouTube videos inline using the official iFrame Player API.

Supported Platforms:

• Android
• iOS For web support, use youtube_player_iframe. In future, this package will extend youtube_player_iframe.

Salient Features

• Inline Playback
• Supports captions
• No need for API Key
• Supports custom controls
• Retrieves video meta data
• Supports Live Stream videos
• Supports changing playback rate
• Support for both Android and iOS
• Adapts to quality as per the bandwidth
• Fast Forward and Rewind on horizontal drag
• Fit Videos to wide screens with pinch gestures

The plugin uses flutter_inappwebview under-the-hood.

Since flutter_inappwebview relies on Flutter's mechanism for embedding Android and iOS views, this plugin might share some known issues tagged with the platform-views label.

Requirements

• Android: minSdkVersion 17 and add support for androidx (see AndroidX Migration)
• iOS: --ios-language swift, Xcode version >= 11

Setup

iOS

No Configuration Needed

For more info, see here

Android

Set minSdkVersion of your android/app/build.gradle file to at least 17.

For more info, see here

Note: Although the minimum to be set is 17, the player won't play on device with API < 20 (19 if Hybrid Composition is enabled). For API < 20 devices, you might want to forward the video to be played using YouTube app instead, using packages like url_launcher or android_intent.

Using Youtube Player

YoutubePlayerController _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
    initialVideoId: 'iLnmTe5Q2Qw',
    flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
        autoPlay: true,
        mute: true,
    ),
);

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
    progressIndicatorColor: Colors.amber,
    progressColors: const ProgressBarColors(
      playedColor: Colors.amber,
      handleColor: Colors.amberAccent,
    ),
    onReady: () {
      _controller.addListener(listener);
    },
),

For FullScreen Support

If fullscreen support is required, wrap your player with YoutubePlayerBuilder

YoutubePlayerBuilder(
    player: YoutubePlayer(
        controller: _controller,
    ),
    builder: (context, player){
        return Column(
            children: [
                // some widgets
                player,
                //some other widgets
            ],
        );
    ),
),

Playing live stream videos

Set the isLive property to true in order to change the UI to match Live Video.

YoutubePlayerController _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
    initialVideoId: 'iLnmTe5Q2Qw',
    flags: YoutubePLayerFlags(
      isLive: true,
    ),
);

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    liveUIColor: Colors.amber,
),

Want to customize the player?

With v5.x.x and up, use the topActions and bottomActions properties to customize the player.

Some of the widgets bundled with the plugin are:

• FullScreenButton
• RemainingDuration
• CurrentPosition
• PlayPauseButton
• PlaybackSpeedButton
• ProgressBar

YoutubePlayer(
    controller: _controller,
    bottomActions: [
      CurrentPosition(),
      ProgressBar(isExpanded: true),
      TotalDuration(),
    ],
),

Want to play using Youtube URLs ?

The plugin also provides convertUrlToId() method that converts youtube links to its corresponding video ids.
