```yaml
dependencies:
  video_player: ^2.1.12
  video_player_elinux:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/sony/flutter-elinux-plugins.git
      path: packages/video_player
      ref: main
```

### Source code
Import `video_player` in your Dart code:
```dart
import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';
```

### Customize for your target devices
If you this plugin on your target devices, you will need to customize the pipeline in the source file.So, replace the `videoconvert` element with a H/W accelerated element of your target device to perform well.

#### default:
playbin uri=<file> video-sink="videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA ! fakesink"

#### e.g. customization for i.MX 8M platforms:
playbin uri=<file> video-sink="imxvideoconvert_g2d ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA ! fakesink"
