Unable to play rtmps url

[cbakchi]

I was trying to play the rtmps link using ext_video_player
rtmps://dlive.flavorable.io:443/live/[email protected]

But It's throwing below exception. In fact it's not able to detect rtmps protocol. I am using ext_video_player: ^0.0.6

Could you please help us on that?

Searching thoroughly over the internet, I found a few examples which involved using Native FFMPEG code on Android to receive and decode the RTSP stream and render it directly over the SurfaceView using NativeWindow interface. Following this, I was able to get a stream with minimum latency.

Following this flutter Vlc player package can handle rtsp streams.

Flutter Vlc player package can handle rtsp streams.

flutter_vlc_player

This is the example from the readme section.

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

class ExampleVideo extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ExampleVideoState createState() => _ExampleVideoState();
}

class _ExampleVideoState extends State<ExampleVideo> {
  final String urlToStreamVideo = 'http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4';
  final VlcPlayerController controller = new VlcPlayerController(
      // Start playing as soon as the video is loaded.
      onInit: (){
          controller.play();
      }  
  );
  final int playerWidth = 640;
  final int playerHeight = 360;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: SizedBox(
            height: playerHeight,
            width: playerWidth,
            child: new VlcPlayer(
                aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
                url: urlToStreamVideo,
                controller: controller,
                placeholder: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
            )
        )
    );
  }
}

@bardia-mhd - Are you referring to RTSP or "RTMPS" (secured RTMP) stream?
