Load video same as tiktok or Instagram in flutter

Question

I am creating on video scrolling app here I have multiple videos. so i am having an issue is when I scroll through the video it takes a loading and then plays the video and if scroll back to the same video then again it's loads and then plays. and if i scroll fastly then video controller crashing and not work properly.

I've used pageview builder to scroll vertically and I don't know what the best solution is for that. ive write some code in onPageChanged Even that's why i guess its loading much so i am looking for best solution for that

Here is my Code

onPageChange event

  onPageChanged(index) async {
    videoPlayerController!.value.dispose();
    videoPlayerController!.value =
        VideoPlayerController.network(widget.videosList[index]["video_link"]);

    videoPlayerController!.value.setLooping(true);
    videoPlayerController!.value.initialize().then(
      (_) {
        if (isAutoplay.value == true) {
          videoPlayerGetXController.isPlaying.value = true;
          videoPlayerController!.value.play();
          log(videoPlayerController!.value.value.size.toString());
        } else {
          videoPlayerGetXController.isPlaying.value = false;
        }
        videoPlayerGetXController.update();
      },
    );
    PipFlutterPlayerDataSource dataSource = PipFlutterPlayerDataSource(
      PipFlutterPlayerDataSourceType.network,
      widget.videosList[index]["video_link"],
    );
    videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value =
        PipFlutterPlayerController(
      PipFlutterPlayerConfiguration(
        eventListener: (PipFlutterPlayerEvent value) {
          if (PipFlutterPlayerEventType.pipStart ==
              value.pipFlutterPlayerEventType) {
            videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value.play();
          }
          if (PipFlutterPlayerEventType.pipStop ==
              value.pipFlutterPlayerEventType) {
            videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value.pause();
          }
        },
        aspectRatio: 9 / 16,
        fit: BoxFit.contain,
        controlsConfiguration: const PipFlutterPlayerControlsConfiguration(
          enablePlayPause: false,
        ),
        // autoPlay: true,
        deviceOrientationsAfterFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitUp],
        deviceOrientationsOnFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitUp],
      ),
    );
    videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value
        .setupDataSource(dataSource);
    videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value
        .setPipFlutterPlayerGlobalKey(
            videoPlayerGetXController.pipFlutterPlayerKey);
    // videoController.pipFlutterPlayerController.value.pause();
    videoPlayerGetXController.update();
  }

Page View Builder Code

PageView.builder(
                    controller: widget.pageController.value,
                    onPageChanged: (index) async {
                      onPageChanged(index);
                    },
                    scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
                    itemCount: widget.videosList.length,
                    itemBuilder: (context, i) {
                      pageindex = i;

                      // Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 1));
                      return videoPlayerGetXController
                              .pipFlutterPlayerController.value.isFullScreen

You can use this widget for video. just pass the URL of the video and it will work fine.

Add these two plugins in pubspec

https://pub.dev/packages/chewie and https://pub.dev/packages/video_player

import 'package:chewie/chewie.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

class VideoWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  final String url;

  const VideoWidget({required this.url});

  @override
  _VideoWidgetState createState() => _VideoWidgetState();
}

class _VideoWidgetState extends State<VideoWidget> {
  late VideoPlayerController videoPlayerController;

  late Future<void> _initializeVideoPlayerFuture;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    videoPlayerController =
        new VideoPlayerController.networkUrl(Uri.parse(widget.url));

    _initializeVideoPlayerFuture = videoPlayerController.initialize().then((_) {
      //       Ensure the first frame is shown after the video is initialized, even before the play button has been pressed.
      setState(() {});
    });
  }

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

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return FutureBuilder(
      future: _initializeVideoPlayerFuture,
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        return (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done)
            ? SizedBox(
                height: 200,
                child: Chewie(
                  key: new PageStorageKey(widget.url),
                  controller: ChewieController(
                    videoPlayerController: videoPlayerController,
                    autoInitialize: true,
                    looping: true,
                    showOptions: false,
                    allowFullScreen: false,
                    errorBuilder: (context, errorMessage) {
                      return Center(
                        child: Text(
                          errorMessage,
                          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                        ),
                      );
                    },
                  ),
                ),
              )
            : SizedBox(
                height: 200,
                child: Center(
                  child: (snapshot.connectionState != ConnectionState.none)
                      ? CircularProgressIndicator()
                      : SizedBox(),
                ),
              );
      },
    );
  }
