    //'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoqggeA-ctA'
      )
    ..initialize().then((value) {
      controller.setLooping(true);
      controller.play();
      widget.sets.controller = controller;
      widget.onInitialized();
    });

Thanks, Have a nice days.

Have you considered using `youtube_player_flutter` instead from https://pub.dev/packages/youtube_player_flutter to play youtube videos — Sisir, Feb 27 '21 at 19:14
Thank you for advice. Yes i considered. But i must to use VideoPlayerController in my code, so i don't use it.. — Mortis Causa, Feb 27 '21 at 19:22
Video play has to have particular format of video to be played. This link would probably be invalid. Way around would be to parse this url to get actual video file link in `.mp4` or other to be able to play. — Anil Poudyal, Jul 19 '21 at 04:47

Problem is caused by uploading format for youtube. When i mp4 file convert to mp4 with h.264 + aac codec and upload youtube then player play my video. Its upload format problem.

use the youtube_player_flutter package with the version: youtube_player_flutter: ^ 6.1.1

here is my example of the code to retrieve videos from a youtube channel

class Video {
  final String id;
  final String title;
  final String thumbnailUrl;
  final String channelTitle;

  Video({
    this.id,
    this.title,
    this.thumbnailUrl,
    this.channelTitle,
  });

  factory Video.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> snippet) {
    return Video(
      id: snippet['resourceId']['videoId'],
      title: snippet['title'],
      thumbnailUrl: snippet['thumbnails']['high']['url'],
      channelTitle: snippet['channelTitle'],
    );
  }
}

Thanks for answer. But i must to use VideoPlayerController in my code. My problem, why my youtube videos didn't play. Although other youtube videos are working. — Mortis Causa, Feb 27 '21 at 22:56
