Source code

Import video_player in your Dart code:

import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

Enable GstEGLImage

If GstEGLImage is enabled on your target device, adding the following code to <user's project>/elinux/CMakeLists.txt may improve playback performance.

add_definitions(-DUSE_EGL_IMAGE_DMABUF)
set(USE_EGL_IMAGE_DMABUF "on")

Customize for your target devices

To improve the performance of this plugin, you will need to customize the pipeline in the source file. Please modify the source file and replace the videoconvert element with a H/W accelerated element of your target device to perform well.
