Tips #
late List<VideoDetails> listOfVideos;
ListAllVideos obj = ListAllVideos();
obj.getAllVideos().then((value) {
listOfVideos = value;
});
obj.permissionStatus;//returns the storage permission status.
obj.androidVersion; // returns the android version.
copied to clipboard
#

permissionStatus will be null until getAllVideos is called.
Use FutureBuilder and call getAllVideos() in it.

VideoDetails class #
VideoDetails sampleVideo = VideoDetails('path_to_video');
sampleVideo.thumbnailController;
sampleVideo.videoName; //Name of the video.
sampleVideo.videoPath; //Path of the video in your storage.
sampleVideo.videoSize; //Size of the video.
copied to clipboard
ThumbnailController #
ThumbnailController thumbnailController = ThumbnailController(videoPath: 'path_to_video');
String thumbnailPath = await thumbnailController.initThumbnail(); // returns the path of generated thumbnail.
thumbnailController.isInitialized; // returns true if the thumbnail is generated.
thumbnailController.thumbnailPath; //returns the path of generated thumbnail
copied to clipboard
#

ThumbnailController class can be used for generating thumbnail for any videos.
initThumbnail() might be called to initilaze thumbnail.
initThumbnail() might be called before using thumnailController.thumbanailPath.
