video_player_avplay 0.4.4

Flutter plugin for displaying inline video on Tizen TV devices.

video_player_avplay

A downloadable plugin which supports MMPlayer and PlusPlayer(PlusPlayer is a new multimedia player object-oriented designed) on Tizen TV devices.

This plugin is only supported on Tizen TV devices. If you are targeting other types of devices or are not interested in playing DRM content in your app, use video_player and video_player_tizen instead.

Usage

To use this package, add video_player_avplay as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  video_player_avplay: ^0.4.4

Then you can import video_player_avplay in your Dart code:

import 'package:video_player_avplay/video_player.dart';

Note that video_player_avplay is not compatible with the original video_player plugin. If you're writing a cross-platform app for Tizen and other platforms, it is recommended to create two separate source files and import video_player and video_player_avplay in the files respectively.

Note that video_player_avplay uses a compiled dynamic library, the api-version is your TV version, change it in tizen-manifest.xml:

<manifest package="xxx" version="1.0.0" api-version="6.0">

Note that if you play dash streams, please add dash format when creating the player:

    VideoPlayerController.network(
      'https://xxx.mpd',
      formatHint: VideoFormat.dash);
