Flutter video player throwing exception with Vimeo video

Question

I am trying to play a vimeo video in a flutter app using the video player library.

I have followed the example given for video_player. When I launch the screen and my android emulator, I am getting the following exception thrown....

My code is as follows...

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:sidekicktool/values.dart';
import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

class HomeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  HomeScreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

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

class _HomeScreenState extends State<HomeScreen> {

  final _key = UniqueKey();  
  VideoPlayerController _controller;

  @override
  void initState() { 
    super.initState();
    _controller = VideoPlayerController.network(
        'https://vimeo.com/476379279')
      ..initialize().then((_) {
        // Ensure the first frame is shown after the video is initialized, even before the play button has been pressed.
        setState(() {});
      });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: Colors.Background,
      appBar: AppBar(
        centerTitle: true,
        backgroundColor: Colors.Primary,
        title: Text(
          'HOME',
          style:Styles.ButtonTextStyle.copyWith(color: Colors.PrimaryContrast)
        )
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: _controller.value.initialized
          ? AspectRatio(
              aspectRatio: _controller.value.aspectRatio,
              child: VideoPlayer(_controller),
            )
          : Container(),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () {
          setState(() {
            _controller.value.isPlaying
                ? _controller.pause()
                : _controller.play();
          });
        },
        child: Icon(
          _controller.value.isPlaying ? Icons.pause : Icons.play_arrow,
        )
      )
    );
  }
}

You can't play video Vimeo links in video_player.

You must provide a video source which ends with video format.

Example http://www.sample-videos.com/video123/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_20mb.mp4

May this helps you : video_player example
