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
.
