video_player dependency doesn't working api 19

I am trying to play mp4 videos from network using video_player dependency in flutter(running my app only on android), the video don't playing and the app crashing after few seconds. I am trying to run the app on API 19 max.

here is my code:

import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

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

class VideoApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _VideoAppState createState() => _VideoAppState();
}

class _VideoAppState extends State<VideoApp> {
  VideoPlayerController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = VideoPlayerController.network(
        'https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/bee.mp4')
      ..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: () {
            setState(() {
              _controller.value.isPlaying
                  ? _controller.pause()
                  : _controller.play();
            });
          },
          child: Icon(
            _controller.value.isPlaying ? Icons.pause : Icons.play_arrow,
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
    _controller.dispose();
  }
}

here is the output:

Solution

  • I'm able to run the sample you've provided without issues using video_player: ^2.3.0. Try updating the version that you're using.

    Also, here's the defaultConfig on my build.gradle

    defaultConfig {
  applicationId "your.package.name"
  minSdkVersion 19
  targetSdkVersion 31
  versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
  versionName flutterVersionName
}
