On an outline to give you an idea, you would need to consider

Download video, use dio to download your video files to your local path.

ex.

 try {
    var dir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    await dio.download(url, "${dir.path}/myFile.mp4", onProgress: (rec, total) {
      print("Rec: $rec , Total: $total");
    });
  } catch (e) {

We could use path_provider to get the applicationDocumentDirectory to save the files to local dir.

DB to save the files path of locally saved files, you could use objectdb, hive
Use the video_player plugin to play the asset file saved locally.
