Youtube Plyr IFrame

ABANDONED, IN FAVOR OF BETTER IN-HOUSE PACKAGE!

This is a fork of youtube_player_iframe which fixes some game breaking things.

Flutter plugin for playing or streaming YouTube videos inline using the official iFrame Player API. The package exposes almost all the API provided by iFrame Player API. So, it's 100% customizable.

Supported Platforms:

  • Android
  • iOS (Platform design -> eg. Airplay, Captions)
  • Web

See Salient Features for more information.

Migrating from youtube_player_iframe

  1. Replace package in pubspec.yaml file.
  2. Replace 'package:youtube_player_iframe/youtube_player_iframe.dart'; with 'package:youtube_plyr_iframe/youtube_plyr_iframe.dart';.

For more details see: https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_plyr_iframe/install.

Salient Features

  • Inline Playback
  • Supports captions
  • No need for API Key
  • Supports custom controls
  • Retrieves video meta data
  • Supports Live Stream videos
  • Supports changing playback rate
  • Support for both Android and iOS
  • Adapts to quality as per the bandwidth
  • Exposes builders for building custom controls
  • Playlist Support (Both custom and Youtube's playlist)

For Web, Flutter's HtmlElementView. For Android & iOS, the package uses flutter_inappwebview under-the-hood.

Since flutter_inappwebview relies on Flutter's mechanism for embedding Android and iOS views, this plugin might share some known issues tagged with the platform-views label.

Requirements

  • Project: Flutter Version >=2.0.0 and Sound Null Safety
  • Android: minSdkVersion 23 and add support for androidx (see AndroidX Migration)
  • iOS: --ios-language swift, Xcode version >= 12
  • Web: See setup

Setup

Web

No Configuration required, if developing without the need to load thumbnails. (Inline thumbnails will still load.)

To load thumbnails the HTML renderer is needed.

  • Run: flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer html
  • Build: flutter build web --web-renderer html --profile

iOS

No Configuration Required.

Using the player

YoutubePlayerController _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
    initialVideoId: 'K18cpp_-gP8',
    params: YoutubePlayerParams(
        playlist: ['nPt8bK2gbaU', 'gQDByCdjUXw'], // Defining custom playlist
        startAt: Duration(seconds: 30),
        showControls: true,
        showFullscreenButton: true,
    ),
);

YoutubePlayerIFrame(
    controller: _controller,
    aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
),

-------------- OR --------------

YoutubePlayerControllerProvider( // Provides controller to all the widget below it.
  controller: _controller,
  child: YoutubePlayerIFrame(
    aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
  ),
);

// Access the controller as: `YoutubePlayerControllerProvider.of(context)` or `controller.ytController`.

Please see EXAMPLE for more details.

Want to customize the player?

The package provides YoutubeValueBuilder, which can be used to create any custom controls.

For example, let's create a custom play pause button.

YoutubeValueBuilder(
   controller: _controller, // This can be omitted, if using `YoutubePlayerControllerProvider`
   builder: (context, value) {
      return IconButton(
         icon: Icon( 
                  value.playerState == PlayerState.playing
                    ? Icons.pause
                    : Icons.play_arrow,
         ),
         onPressed: value.isReady
            ? () {
                  value.playerState == PlayerState.playing
                    ? context.ytController.pause()
                    : context.ytController.play();
                 }
            : null,
      );
   },
);

Please see EXAMPLE for more details.
