Video Provider

This library enables you to extract mp4 videos from various video providers. Currently supported:

• Imgur
• Gfycat
• Reddit Videos

You can use VideoProvider offline (producing potentially unavailable videos) or CheckedVideoProvider online (which only returns the videos actually available). CheckedVideoProvider uses the API for some of the video providers, currently only Giphy.

More will follow, feel free to make pull requests or raise issues with examples.

Usage

A simple usage example:

import 'package:video_provider/video_provider.dart';

main() {
  /**
   * If you only care for quick link conversion and want to check the result
   * yourself, use the VideoProvider:
   */
  List<Video> potentialUris = VideoProvider.fromUri(
    Uri.parse("https://i.imgur.com/example.gifv"),
  ).getVideos();

  // prints https://i.imgur.com/example.mp4
  for (var video in potentialUris) print(video.uri);

  /**
   * If you want to make sure the videos provided are actually available,
   * use the CheckedVideoProvider:
   */
  Stream<Video> checkedUris = CheckedVideoProvider.fromUri(
    Uri.parse("https://gfycat.com/ScratchyBarrenDeermouse-mobile"),
  ).getVideos();

  /**
   * Only prints "https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ScratchyBarrenDeermouse-mobile.mp4",
   * as this particular video does not have a HighRes version
   */
  checkedUris.forEach((video) => print(video.uri));
}
