How to display the video from byte? #164

Closed SittiphanSittisak closed 10 months ago

SittiphanSittisak commented 10 months ago

This package supports the web platform but I can't convert the byte to a File with the io package that does not support the web platform. The DataSource supports File from the io package and the source with string type.

sadly its not supported by video_player interface, but media_kit can play local videos on web. so i recommend using media_kit for that case

I think byte or Uint8List are the basic types of all files and every platform supports this type. Can you add a solution to Uint8List instead of using the URL, File?

I found a solution to display this video from Uint8List by this but it does not work successfully for all browsers.

    final url = html.Url.createObjectUrlFromBlob(blob); //Uint8List can convert/revert to blob
    controller.setDataSource(
      DataSource(type: DataSourceType.network, source: url),
      autoplay: true,
    );

You mean to integrate it in the package?

Isn't this fix enough?

I think if it is not supported as you said, that is enough.

I can custom if/else statements for using this method for the web and using the convert to file solution on Android/iOS.

Yeah custom imports for web since you are using html, sorry that I couldn't help also thanks for letting me know that it can be done ❤️

I always thought it was impossible
