Flutter YouTube Player

Flutter YouTube Player is a plugin that allows you to embed and play YouTube videos in your Flutter applications. It provides a seamless integration with the YouTube Player, offering various features and functionalities to enhance the video playback experience.

To get started with Flutter YouTube Player, you need to add the youtube_player_flutter dependency to your Flutter project’s pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
    youtube_player_flutter: ^8.0.0

After adding the dependency, run flutter pub get to fetch the package and its dependencies.

Here’s a simple example of how to use Flutter YouTube Player in your Flutter application:

import 'package:youtube_player_flutter/youtube_player_flutter.dart';

class YoutubePlayerExample extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _YoutubePlayerExampleState createState() => _YoutubePlayerExampleState();
}

class _YoutubePlayerExampleState extends State {
  YoutubePlayerController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _controller = YoutubePlayerController(
      initialVideoId: 'YOUR_VIDEO_ID',
      flags: YoutubePlayerFlags(
        autoPlay: true,
        mute: false,
      ),
    );
  }

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return YoutubePlayer(
      controller: _controller,
      showVideoProgressIndicator: true,
      progressIndicatorColor: Colors.red,
      onReady: () {
        print('Player is ready.');
      },
    );
  }
}

In this example, we define a simple YoutubePlayerExample widget with a YoutubePlayerController to control the YouTube video playback. The initialVideoId parameter takes the YouTube video ID, representing the video you want to play.

The YoutubePlayer widget is used to display the video player interface. You can customize various options, such as showing the video progress indicator and setting the progress indicator color.

The onReady callback is triggered when the player is ready to play the video. You can use this callback to perform any additional actions or handle events.

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_VIDEO_ID' with the actual video ID of the YouTube video you want to play. You can find the video ID in the YouTube video URL after the 'v=' parameter.
