Video player controller cannot reference a List of Strings/array of paths to videos to loop and make a playlist

[Chimba123]

The Video player plugin apparently cannot loop through a string of paths/array that reference multiple videos locally. The controller only accepts one string. What if one wants to display/play 50, 100 or even a 1000 videos? the controller is insufficient for this implementation lest I am missing something

@Chimba123 dispose current controller and create new one with uri of video you want to play.And if you want autoplay functionality you need to check if current video is finished.Set listener on controller which checks current position of video against duration.

@harisk92 do you have a working example?

[harisk92]

@Chimba123

void play(String url) {
     controller = VideoPlayerController.network(url);		    
     controller.initialize().then((_) => setState(() {}));		       
     controller.play();		       
     controller.addListener(checkIfVideoFinished);		       
   }		
		
   void checkIfVideoFinished() {		
     if (controller == null ||		
         controller.value == null ||		
         controller.value.position == null) return;		
     if (controller.value.position.inSeconds ==		
         controller.value.duration.inSeconds) {
         controller.removeListener(checkIfVideoFinished);
         controller.dispose();			
         play(nextVideoUrl);		
       }		
     }		
   }

Sorry for late response.

Looks like this is about a support question that got answered.
