Video_Player 0.6.1 Exoplayer Error

[Brian Duffy]

I thought I would play with the new video_player 0.6.1 in Flutter since it was mentioned in the Release Candidate article that it had been improved upon. First I upgraded Flutter and my Dart Code plugin for VS Code. I opened up Android Studio and ran all the updates it told me to. I then ran Flutter Doctor ...

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):

[✓] Flutter (Channel beta, v0.5.1, on Mac OS X 10.13.5 17F77, locale en-US)

[✓] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK 27.0.3)

[!] iOS toolchain - develop for iOS devices (Xcode 9.4.1)

    ! CocoaPods out of date (1.5.0 is recommended).

        CocoaPods is used to retrieve the iOS platform side's plugin code that responds to your plugin usage on the Dart side.

        Without resolving iOS dependencies with CocoaPods, plugins will not work on iOS.

        For more info, see https://flutter.io/platform-plugins

      To upgrade:

        brew upgrade cocoapods

        pod setup

[✓] Android Studio (version 3.1)

    ✗ Flutter plugin not installed; this adds Flutter specific functionality.

    ✗ Dart plugin not installed; this adds Dart specific functionality.

[!] VS Code (version 1.24.1)

[✓] Connected devices (1 available)

I made a minor change to the example code from video_player git page to load the video file from the emulators documents folder instead of streaming it from the web. this has works for me in previous versions ...

import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'dart:io';

void main() => runApp(VideoApp());

class VideoApp extends StatefulWidget {

@override

_VideoAppState createState() => _VideoAppState();

}

class _VideoAppState extends State<VideoApp> {

VideoPlayerController _controller;

bool _isPlaying = false;

@override

void initState() {

super.initState();

String videoFile = "/data/user/0/com.example.videotest/app_flutter/test.mp4";

File file = new File(videoFile);

_controller = new VideoPlayerController.file(file)

..addListener(() {

final bool isPlaying = _controller.value.isPlaying;

if (isPlaying != _isPlaying) {

setState(() {

_isPlaying = isPlaying;

});

}

})

..initialize().then((_) {

// Ensure the first frame is shown after the video is initialized, even before the play button has been pressed.

setState(() {});

});

}

@override

Widget build(BuildContext context) {

return MaterialApp(

title: 'Video Demo',

home: Scaffold(

body: Center(

child: _controller.value.initialized

? AspectRatio(

aspectRatio: _controller.value.aspectRatio,

child: VideoPlayer(_controller),

)

: Container(),

),

floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(

onPressed: _controller.value.isPlaying

? _controller.pause

: _controller.play,

child: Icon(

_controller.value.isPlaying ? Icons.pause : Icons.play_arrow,

),

),

),

);

}

}

I just use the adb tool to move that video file to the emulator with the proper privileges ...

adb root

adb push ~/Documents/video_test/test.mp4 /data/user/0/com.example.videotest/app_flutter

the video file is the same one used in the example on the git page.

I modified my pubspec.yaml to specify the newest version of the video player

video_player: "^0.6.1"

I am trying to run this on an android emulator. I have tried targeting both Android 7.1.1 and 8.1

I am running on channel beta

Looks like an ExoPlayer issue. Any ideas?

I should have mentioned that I am running the Android 8.1 (Oreo) SDK. There is one more recent SDK available to install called Android API 28
