Clone of video_player plugin with support for Youtube & RTMP

NOTICE

This Plugin uses all its code from video_player plugins which is the official video_player plugin Only few part of the code are modified.

Note

RTMP is only supported in Android (Working for iOS)

Installation

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

iOS

Warning: The video player is not functional on iOS simulators. An iOS device must be used during development/testing.

Add the following entry to your Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
  <true/>
</dict>

This entry allows your app to access video files by URL.

Android

Ensure 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"/>

The Flutter project template adds it, so it may already be there.
