## What it is
A cross-platform video and audio playback library for Flutter and Dart applications, built on libmpv with native platform bindings. It provides modular packages for video rendering and audio playback across mobile, desktop, and web platforms.

## Use cases
- play video in a flutter app
- add audio playback to dart application
- cross-platform media player for flutter
- stream video on android ios and desktop
- embed video player widget in flutter
- play audio files in flutter app

## When to choose
- you need media playback across multiple platforms with a single Flutter codebase
- you want mpv-powered playback with broad codec support
- you need both video rendering and audio-only playback options

## When to avoid
- you are building a native (non-Flutter) app
- you only target a single platform where a platform-native player suffices
- you need DRM-protected streaming content

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, ui-components, sdk
- domain: media, cross-platform, mobile-development, desktop-applications, web-development
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: flutter, dart, media-player, libmpv, video-player, audio-player, android, ios, macos, linux, web
