dart:io #

The Web platform does not suppport dart:io, so attempts to create a VideoPlayerController.file will throw an UnimplementedError.

Autoplay #

Playing videos without prior interaction with the site might be prohibited by the browser and lead to runtime errors. See also: https://goo.gl/xX8pDD.

Supported Formats #
