Flutter Video Player – Chewie Tutorial

📗 Learn from the written tutorial 👇👇

Videos are everywhere - they can convey information more quickly than any other format. From YouTube and Instagram stories to app development courses, playing videos directly inside your app is becoming more and more needed.

How can play videos in Flutter? There is a library directly from the Flutter team simply called video_player. This library, however, is completely bare-bones. While it can play videos, it's up to you to add video playback controls and to style it. There is a better option which comes bundled with the UI as you'd expect both on Android and iOS - Chewie.

Thank you, this simplified it quite a bit! I was struggling off the flutter documentation, but this breaks it down well step by step.

Great video sir. You made the implementation quite easier.

But one thing, please make another video on Chewie to show the network handling while playing a video, i.e. buffering, retry, etc

Have you ever experienced a super slow load when initializing videoplayer?
Mine could last up to 17 seconds before playing an online video... but when the same video was played on a PC, it plays instantly.
