Video_Player does not play video on iOS Simulator (not sure about physical device)

[FaisalAbid]

Steps to Reproduce

Installed the video player plugin. Added the correct Info.plist keys. But I cant get the video to play.

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

class VideoScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  final String id;
  final String type;
  VideoScreen(this.id, this.type);

  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
    return new _VideoScreenState();
  }
}

class _VideoScreenState extends State<VideoScreen> {
  VideoPlayerController _controller;
  bool _isPlaying = false;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = new VideoPlayerController(
      'http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_20mb.mp4',
    )
      ..addListener(() {
        final bool isPlaying = _controller.value.isPlaying;
        if (isPlaying != _isPlaying) {
          setState(() {
            _isPlaying = isPlaying;
          });
        }
      })
      ..initialize();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text("Video"),
      ),
      body: new Center(
        child: new Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
          child: new AspectRatio(
            aspectRatio: 1280 / 720,
            child: new VideoPlayer(_controller),
          ),
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed:
        _controller.value.isPlaying ? _controller.pause : _controller.play,
        child: new Icon(
          _controller.value.isPlaying ? Icons.pause : Icons.play_arrow,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

video_demo says "The video demo is not supported on the iOS Simulator.".

I run Flutter Gallery on iOS physical device and confirmed video_demo works.

Google pixel (1,2), Samsung Galaxy s6,s8, Meizu M3 Note. Gallery Application or official sample: video buffering more than 10 sec, freezing or blank screen with audio only.

Question is if these problems have been solved by the ongoing Skia work done in collaboration with customer:gold for #16178.

[zoechi]

I'm going to close this as dup of #14647 because I think the title of #14647 matches the actual issue better.
Please add a comment to get the issue reopened if you disagree.

@zoechi Also feel free to edit the titles. :-)

@Hixie sure, but I needed a reason to decide for one or the other ;-)
