Control video playback

Learn how to use play, pause, seek, volume, and state controls in the FastPix Flutter Player.

The FastPixPlayerController provides methods for managing playback. All methods are available after calling initialize().

Play, pause, and seek

1 controller.play();                    // Start or resume playback
2 controller.pause();                   // Pause playback
3 controller.seekTo(Duration(seconds: 30)); // Seek to a specific position

Set volume

Set the player volume on a scale from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (maximum):

1 controller.setVolume(0.75); // Set volume to 75%

Query playback state

Check the current state and position:

1 final position = controller.getCurrentPosition(); // Current playback position
2 final duration = controller.getTotalDuration();    // Total video duration
3 
4 // State checks
5 final isPlaying = controller.isPlaying;   // Returns true if playing
6 final isPaused = controller.isPaused;     // Returns true if paused
7 final isFinished = controller.isFinished; // Returns true if playback completed
8 final state = controller.currentState;    // Current player state enum

Player states

The player can be in any of these states:

State	Description
`initialized`	Player created but not ready
`ready`	Ready to play
`playing`	Actively playing
`paused`	Paused
`buffering`	Waiting for data
`finished`	Playback completed
`error`	Error encountered

Clean up resources

Always dispose the controller when the widget is removed:

1 @override
2 void dispose() {
3   controller.dispose();
4   super.dispose();
5 }

1	controller.play(); // Start or resume playback
2	controller.pause(); // Pause playback
3	controller.seekTo(Duration(seconds: 30)); // Seek to a specific position

1	final position = controller.getCurrentPosition(); // Current playback position
2	final duration = controller.getTotalDuration(); // Total video duration
3
4	// State checks
5	final isPlaying = controller.isPlaying; // Returns true if playing
6	final isPaused = controller.isPaused; // Returns true if paused
7	final isFinished = controller.isFinished; // Returns true if playback completed
8	final state = controller.currentState; // Current player state enum

1	@override
2	void dispose() {
3	controller.dispose();
4	super.dispose();
5	}
