Hi @prateekmedia , I have built and tried this branch. I am not sure yet what to expect from the feature itself but what I have noticed is that some videos are rotated (while keeping the original dimension). A portrait video is played in portrait mode but the video is rotated 90° and fitted to the screen.

Any way I can help testing the feature itself? I do see some changes but, for example, when trying to read a 2GB remote video (which is not on my phone), then it seems like it is first downloading the full video first. Also I am not sure what should the "cache preview" option do?

Tested on Pixel 6a.

Hi @simondubrulle , This PR is just for the mobile end. The backend is done separate on video_file_preview branch.

Regarding the rotation part, it was due to the source of video_player, I have reverted it to original.

Also regarding the "Cache Preview", it will work only when you spin up the local backend using the said branch.

Great, I see, thank you. It seems the last commit is not yet solving the rotation issue.
