I`m trying to create an app to play videos from firebase database using chewie. If I play an asset video it works fine, but if I try to get a youtube video from firebase it shows a white denying symbol, I tried a different source of video it works, but my goal is to access youtube videos. I used a real device, tried on both Android and IOS but nothing worked. Any lights on what could be a solution?

The chewie plugin has yet to have support for Youtube as tracked in this thread. The package can only play video stream URLs. Alternatives for this is to use other plugins like youtube_player_flutter which has support for Youtube links. The other plugin youtube_player_iframe provides more granular API access.
