Flutter RTSP Player

Flutter RTSP Player is a plugin that allows you to play live streams or videos using the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) in your Flutter application. RTSP is a network control protocol designed for efficiently delivering real-time streaming media, such as audio and video, over IP networks.

Installation

To use the Flutter RTSP Player plugin in your Flutter project, follow these steps:

  1. Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:


    2. dependencies:
     flutter_rtsp_player: ^version_number

  2. Run flutter packages get in your terminal.
  3. Import the library in your Dart code:


    4. import 'package:flutter_rtsp_player/flutter_rtsp_player.dart';

Usage

Once you have installed the Flutter RTSP Player plugin, you can use it to play RTSP streams or videos in your Flutter application. Here’s an example:


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

class RTSPPlayerExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _RTSPPlayerExampleState createState() => _RTSPPlayerExampleState();
}

class _RTSPPlayerExampleState extends State {
  FlutterRTSPPlayerController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = FlutterRTSPPlayerController();
    _controller.initialize();
  }

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('RTSP Player Example'),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: AspectRatio(
            aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
            child: FlutterRTSPPlayer(
              controller: _controller,
              url: 'rtsp://your_stream_url',
              autoPlay: true,
              looping: true,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

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

In the example above, we have created a simple Flutter application that plays an RTSP stream. The main parts of the code are as follows:

  • We import the necessary packages and define a stateful widget for our example application.
  • In the widget’s state, we create an instance of the FlutterRTSPPlayerController and initialize it in the initState method.
  • In the widget’s build method, we use the FlutterRTSPPlayer widget to display the RTSP stream. We pass the FlutterRTSPPlayerController instance as the controller and the RTSP stream URL as the url parameter. We can also set additional options like autoPlay and looping.
  • In the dispose method, we dispose of the FlutterRTSPPlayerController instance to clean up resources.
  • We run the example application by calling the main function.

Conclusion

The Flutter RTSP Player plugin provides an easy way to integrate RTSP streaming functionality into your Flutter applications. By following the installation and usage instructions mentioned above, you can start playing RTSP streams or videos in your Flutter app. Make sure to replace ‘rtsp://your_stream_url’ with the actual RTSP stream URL you want to play.
