Flutter Ver.
The Flutter version was built in Android Studio with the Flutter plugin, and primarily relies on the video_player and chewie plugins, uses the keep_screen_on plugin to keep screen active when playing a video, uses the file_picker plugin to pick a media file on your device to play, and unlike the App Inventor version, uses a newer UI standard, which is rendered with Skia, Material UI 2, instead of the App Inventor version's OG Material Design and UI 1.
It uses Media 3 ExoPlayer, something the App Inventor version would've been dreaming of, but has less controls, however, as a result, is simpler to use and much more user-friendly, and is solely ExoPlayer (at least, for now). It does not support a quality selector, or advanced audio settings, but it supports everything else the App Inventor version does in the ExoPlayer point of view (P.O.V).
Media3 Demo (Very Early Demo)
Warning
This version doesn't support media URLs or files, and serves as a demo in its purest form. It's also no longer supported, and will not recieve updates on further notice.
The Media3 Demo was built in Android Studio using Kotlin, and uses the Media3 Player app by @akhorasani as a base for all Media3 support, and uses the traditional INTENT methods for URL redirects in Kotlin.
It, unlike the other 2 versions, is in a very early state right now and does not support video URLs (believe me, I tried, and failed), as of now. However, the placeholder video is the Big Buck Bunny short film, stored in a GCP (Google Cloud Protocol) storage bucket.
