Answer 1

You are using the wrong url. The url you posted is not the real video url but is only a redirect url.
Try with:
VideoPlayerController.network('https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/04/file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4'),
(Remember that iOS simulators and other does not always support video playing.)
