Welcome to the universal_video_controls package! This project is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for video controls that can be universally applied to various video players. Below is an overview of the project's structure and its main components.

• universal_video_controls
  • This directory contains the main package code for the universal video controls.
• universal_video_controls/example/
  • This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the universal_video_controls package.
• universal_video_controls_video_player
  • This directory contains the interface and implementation for the video player that integrates with the universal video controls.

This is the core package that provides universal video controls which can be used across different video players. It includes functionalities like play, pause, stop, seek, volume control, and more. The package is based on the media_kit controls and serves as a port and generalization of these controls. The goal is to create an abstraction that allows these controls to work with any video player backend, provided that the backend's interface is compatible with the AbstractPlayer class.

This directory includes the interface for the video player, which is designed to work seamlessly with the universal_video_controls package. It provides the necessary hooks and methods to control video playback using the universal controls. For reference, you can explore the VideoPlayerControlsWrapper class, which is an implementation of the AbstractPlayer interface using the video_player package.

To ensure compatibility with the universal_video_controls package, your video player backend must implement the AbstractPlayer class. This abstract class defines the essential methods and properties that any video player must have to be controlled by the universal video controls.

By adhering to this interface, you can integrate any video player backend with the universal_video_controls package, making the controls truly universal and adaptable to various environments.

To get started with the universal_video_controls package, you can explore the examples provided in the universal_video_controls/example/ directory. These examples will guide you through the setup and integration process.

Instructions for installing the package can be found in the universal_video_controls directory. Make sure to follow the steps provided in the respective README files to ensure a smooth setup.
