YouTube video in video_player package

Question

i started use this package: https://pub.dev/packages/video_player. But me need use this package for showing video from YouTube videos, how can i do this, cuz default ulr from YouTube not working?

Solution

You can't use the video_player plugin for playing YouTube videos. It doesn't support that. You can play videos from network but it should be video (ends with a valid extension). YouTube videos are different.

You need to use something like youtube_player_flutter, or youtube_explode_dart. You can search other plugins on pub for this as well.

Okay thank you. These packages (what you sent) can they play videos from different url or just youtube?

You're welcome. Those can only play youtube videos.
