feature request: constructor for Socket, use input stream as source of video data

I'm currently developing a flutter app that allows to view security live streams with RTSP protocol. The proprietary APIs requires that, when the streaming has to be started, a TCP SecureSocket has to be created, using a certificate. Then, some bytes has to be sent as a command, and the server starts to responds packets until the socket is closed.

on native iOS, VLCMediaPlayer of MobileVLCKit pod allows to create such socket input:

VLCplayer.media = [[VLCMedia alloc] initWithStream:camera_to_stream._video_stream];

stream being an instance of NSInputStream

` /**

Initializes a new VLCMedia object to use an input stream.
\note By default, NSStream instances that are not file-based are non-seekable,
you may subclass NSInputStream whose instances are capable of seeking through a stream.
This subclass must allow setting NSStreamFileCurrentOffsetKey property.
\note VLCMedia will open stream if it is not already opened, and will close eventually.
You can't pass an already closed input stream.
\param stream Input stream for media to be accessed.
\return A new VLCMedia object, only if there were no errors. */
- (instancetype)initWithStream:(NSInputStream *)stream; `

On Android, using ExoPlayer, a similar approach can be done:

Uri tsVideoUri = Uri.parse("stream.ts"); DataSource.Factory pMyDataSourceFactory = () -> mDataSource; MediaSource pMyMediaSource = new ProgressiveMediaSource.Factory(pMyDataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(tsVideoUri);

mDataSource is an instance of a class that implements DataSource and makes use of a CircularByteBuffer, the data received from the socket is being written inside this data source.

Is this approach already available on flutter_vlc_player?
