Control video playback | FastPix Developer Documentation

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

controller.play();                    // Start or resume playback
controller.pause();                   // Pause playback
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):

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

Query playback state

Check the current state and position:

final position = controller.getCurrentPosition(); // Current playback position
final duration = controller.getTotalDuration();    // Total video duration
// State checks
final isPlaying = controller.isPlaying;   // Returns true if playing
final isPaused = controller.isPaused;     // Returns true if paused
final isFinished = controller.isFinished; // Returns true if playback completed
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:

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