Video Player Plugin For Flutter With Useful Functions

A Flutter plugin for iOS, Android and Web for playing back video on a Widget surface.

Installation

First, add video_player_oneplusdream as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

iOS

If you need to access videos using http (rather than https) URLs, you will need to add the appropriate NSAppTransportSecurity permissions to your app's Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist. See Apple's documentation to determine the right combination of entries for your use case and supported iOS versions.

Android

If you are using network-based videos, ensure that the following permission is present in your Android Manifest file, located in <project root>/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Web

Add below two links in your index.html

<link href="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.0.4/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/8.0.4/video.min.js"></script>

Please check video.js documentation for details
