Flutter video_player is taking too much time to load video from firbase

Hi I am creating a video player which lists all videos from Firebase storage and play it. I used cache_video_player plugin to play video. This is similar to video_player plugin with cache service. This plugin takes too much time to initialize and load video from network(approximately 10-20 seconds). Is there any way to reduce loading time of this plugin or is there any other plugin which takes minimum time to load video from network

I've discovered the same problem with Chewie and the current video player. For security and other app-related reasons, I sign and encrypt my URLs rather than using direct URLs And these from my server not from firebase, however the video player takes a very long time to initialize()—roughly 20 to 30 seconds, and frequently longer. Additionally, all video URLs will break and become unusable if I do not use FVP; meanwhile, the same URLs function quite quickly on my Angular web site. I'm using Listview at both locations to browse through several videos. Is a solution in place? The URL is being taken as input by my listview child, and in initState, I'm following the guidelines outlined in the VideoController docs.

Basically cached_video_player plugin is virtually a clone of official video_player plugin. I used video_player plugin in my project and it takes time when initializing and loading the video when playing from network, it works fine when playing a local video as a file but takes time for playing video from network. It totally depends upon your internet connection and speed, No need to worry about and I don't think that you will find any better plugin for playing video other than video_player.
