video_player_web

The web implementation of video_player.

Usage

This package is endorsed,
which means you can simply use video_player
normally. This package will be automatically included in your app when you do.

dart:io

The Web platform does not suppport dart:io, so attempts to create a VideoPlayerController.file will throw an UnimplementedError.

Autoplay

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.

Mixing audio with other audio sources

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.
