The web implementation of video_player
.
This package is the endorsed implementation of video_player
for the web platform since version 0.10.5
, so it gets automatically added to your application by depending on video_player: ^0.10.5
.
No further modifications to your pubspec.yaml
should be required in a recent enough version of Flutter (>=1.12.13+hotfix.4
):
... dependencies: ... video_player: ^0.10.5 ...
Once you have the correct video_player
dependency in your pubspec, you should be able to use package:video_player
as normal, even from your web code.
The Web platform does not suppport dart:io
, so attempts to create a VideoPlayerController.file
will throw an UnimplementedError
.
Playing videos without prior interaction with the site might be prohibited by the browser and lead to runtime errors. See also: https://goo.gl/xX8pDD.
The VideoPlayerOptions.mixWithOthers
option can't be implemented in web, at least at the moment. If you use this option it will be silently ignored.
Different web browsers support different sets of video codecs.
Check MDN's Web video codec guide to learn more about the pros and cons of each video codec.
Visit caniuse.com: ‘video format’ for a breakdown of which browsers support what codecs. You can customize charts there for the users of your particular website(s).
