Issue with FlutterFlow “VideoPlayer” and “Image” Widgets Not Accepting videoUrl or imageUrl Paths

Widgets & Design

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a FlutterFlow project and I’m encountering a persistent issue with the built-in VideoPlayer and Image widgets.

Both widgets refuse to accept paths from my Firestore collections – specifically the videoUrl for videos and imageUrl for images. I’ve double-checked that:

  • All fields (videoUrl, imageUrl) exist and are correctly typed in the Firestore collection.

  • I’m using proper query filters to fetch the right documents.

  • Other custom widgets work perfectly with the same data.

  • All bindings, query sources, and visibility rules are correctly configured.

Despite this, the standard FlutterFlow VideoPlayer and Image widgets do not display any media.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

What have you tried so far?

  • I’ve tested with custom widgets and even tried using my own custom code, and those work fine — the videos and images load as expected.
