Flutter Web- playing uint8list n videoplayer

Question

I am trying to play a local video file on flutter web but am getting stuck after choosing the video. According to this github post, it is possible to play a local video file by converting the uint8list of the video to a blob and then using videoController.network to play the blob: github. The problem is that I am not sure how to convert to a blob properly. How do I convert a uint8list to a blob and then play that blob in the flutter video player?

Url.createObjectUrlFromBlob(blob) from dart:html library does the trick:

import 'dart:html' as html;

// ...
    final blob = html.Blob([bytes]);
    final url = html.Url.createObjectUrlFromBlob(blob);
    _controller = VideoPlayerController.network(url);
