Source code

Import video_player in your Dart code:

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= video-sink="videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA ! fakesink"

e.g. customization for i.MX 8M platforms:

playbin uri= video-sink="imxvideoconvert_g2d ! video/x-raw,format=RGBA ! fakesink"

Enable GstEGLImage

If GstEGLImage is enabled on your target device, adding the following code to <user's project>/elinux/CMakeLists.txt may improve playback performance.

add_definitions(-DUSE_EGL_IMAGE_DMABUF)
set(USE_EGL_IMAGE_DMABUF "on")
