jwplayer

This repo provides a bridge between Flutter and JWPlayer's native iOS and Android SDKs.

• JWPlayer iOS SDK docs: https://docs.jwplayer.com/players/docs/ios-overview
• JWPlayer Android SDK docs: https://docs.jwplayer.com/players/docs/android-overview

The current behavior of this plugin is to launch a native view fullscreen over the Flutter app and auto play the video from the URL provided. A close button, X, is provided to dismiss the view and return to the Flutter app.

Getting Started

Add the dependency to pubspec.yaml:

jwplayer:
  git:
    url: https://github.com/KQED/jwplayer-flutter-plugin.git
    ref: 608f02c3c219ed86dfb9257d8360d2a44b423684

Set up a JWPlayer object

final jwPlayerPlugin = JWPlayer();

Initialize JWPlayer with platform license key:

Add the following to initState():

// Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
  // Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
  // We also handle the message potentially returning null.
  try {
    await jwPlayerPlugin.init(jwplayerLicenseKey);
  } on PlatformException {
    if (kDebugMode) {
      log('PlatformException in JWPlayer in debug mode');
    }
  }
}

Set up MethodChannel and register for callbacks:

Add the following to initState():

void registerForCallbacks() {
  _pluginCallbacksChannel.setMethodCallHandler(_callbackMethodCallHandler);
}

Future<void> _callbackMethodCallHandler(MethodCall call) async {
  switch (call.method) {
    default:
    Future.delayed(Duration.zero, () {
      final data =
       'Method Call Triggered: ${call.method} with arguments ${call.arguments}';
        log('Method callback message: $data');
    });
  }
}

Play a video:

jwPlayerPlugin.play(url);
