Flutter: How to read data from video using ffmpeg - flutter

Question

I am trying to fetch the metadata from the video for that using lib https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_ffmpeg,
Below code is not working with ffmpeg
Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String appDocPath = appDocDir.path;
File file = File('{$appDocPath}/folder_name/out.mp4');
final FlutterFFprobe _flutterFFprobe = new FlutterFFprobe();
_flutterFFprobe.getMediaInformation(file.path).then((info) => print(info));
How could I resolve the above one?

Answer 1

File required storage access first and then given path is accessible to ffmpeg lib
Add Storage Permission
permission_handler: ^5.0.1 // in pubspec.yaml file
Ask for runtime permission before accessing video
var status = await Permission.storage.status;
if (status.isUndetermined) {
// You can request multiple permissions at once.
Map<Permission, PermissionStatus> statuses = await [
Permission.storage,
].request();
print(statuses[Permission.storage]); // this must show permission granted.
}
Finally, use it with ffmpeg with storage path like
File file = File('/storage/emulated/0/folder_name/out.mp4');
final FlutterFFprobe _flutterFFprobe = new FlutterFFprobe();
_flutterFFprobe
.getMediaInformation(file.path)
.then((info) => print(info)); // This should print metadata inside of video
