Video player controls outside Video container.

I'm trying to build something like the image below, when expanded displays the controllers on the bottom of the screen, which is more intuitive.

Is there a possibility to do this with Chewie?

Thanks!

This is not possible currently and I am not sure if we should support it. But if you want to create this I would recommend to use a custom fork of chewie and start by removing this AspectRatio widget: https://github.com/brianegan/chewie/blob/master/lib/src/player_with_controls.dart#L20

Thanks for the pointer Ben!

I've looked across several apps and it's a common pattern. The only app I could find where it's not, it's YouTube.

Here's 2 to show this

I'll give creating something similar a try tomorrow, keep you posted :-)

Worked great. Found another issue though. Will open a new one :-)
