Video duration

[Zelfapp]

How do you get the video duration before the video starts? I need to know the video length ahead of play for another animation.

Printing the duration is null (see print below).

BetterPlayerDataSource dataSource = BetterPlayerDataSource(
  BetterPlayerDataSourceType.network,
  _downloadUrl,
);

_betterPlayerController = BetterPlayerController(
  BetterPlayerConfiguration(
    aspectRatio: 9 / 16,
    fit: BoxFit.cover,
    autoPlay: true,
    deviceOrientationsAfterFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitDown],
    deviceOrientationsOnFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitDown],
    allowedScreenSleep: false,
    controlsConfiguration: BetterPlayerControlsConfiguration(
      playerTheme: BetterPlayerTheme.custom,
      customControlsBuilder: (controller) => CustomControlsWidget(
        controller: controller,
      ),
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      enableFullscreen: false,
      showControls: true,
      loadingWidget: const SpinKitDoubleBounce(
        color: Colors.white,
        size: 100.0,
      ),
    ),
  ),
  betterPlayerDataSource: dataSource,
);

print(
    'Duration: ${_betterPlayerController.videoPlayerController!.value.duration}');

You can get video duration once video has initialised:

 _betterPlayerController.setupDataSource(BetterPlayerDataSource(
      BetterPlayerDataSourceType.network,
      Constants.bugBuckBunnyVideoUrl,
    ));
_betterPlayerController.addEventsListener((event){
      if (event.betterPlayerEventType == BetterPlayerEventType.initialized){
        var duration = _betterPlayerController.videoPlayerController?.value.duration ?? Duration();
        print("Video duration: $duration");
      }
    });

You can't get video duration earlier.
