flutter video player not showing video - flutter

Question

In my app I have a video running in the background.
I have a parameter page with a filepicker button which saves the path of the selected video in sharedpreferences
Future<File> _pickVideo() async {
final result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(type: FileType.video);
File file = File(result!.files.single.path ?? '');
if (file != null) {
setState(() {
pickedVideo = file;
print('video $pickedVideo');
});
}
return file;}
In the video player page i retrieve the sharedpreferences path and I can display it in a Text widget
Text(selectedVideoValue ?? '',)
when I want to use it in the video player it doesn't work.
am i doing something wrong?
String? selectedVideoValue;
if (selectedVideoValue != null) {
controller = VideoPlayerController.file(File('{$selectedVideoValue}'))
..addListener(() => setState(() {}))
..initialize().then((_) {
controller.setVolume(0.0);
controller.play();
controller.setLooping(true);
setState(() {});
});
} else {
controller =
VideoPlayerController.asset("assets/movies/STYLEARCHIGRAPHIQUE.mp4")
..addListener(() => setState(() {}))
..initialize().then((_) {
controller.setVolume(0.0);
controller.play();
controller.setLooping(true);
setState(() {});
});
}
Thanks for your help

Below Code set into initState() may be working
controller = VideoPlayerController.file(File('{$selectedVideoValue}'))
..addListener(() => setState(() {}))
..initialize().then((_) {
controller.setVolume(0.0);
controller.play();
controller.setLooping(true);
setState(() {});
});
} else {
controller =
VideoPlayerController.asset("assets/movies/STYLEARCHIGRAPHIQUE.mp4")
..addListener(() => setState(() {}))
..initialize().then((_) {
controller.setVolume(0.0);
controller.play();
controller.setLooping(true);
setState(() {});
});
}```
