Video player issue

Current Behavior

Hello,

I’m working on a fairly simple application that redirects to a descriptive page of a song when clicking on video clip previews. On the main page, I first display the featured clip, which should loop continuously—a 20-second MP4 extract uploaded as an asset, without sound. It is placed inside a Container, which is inside a Stack, itself inside a Column. Below, there is a PageView displaying previous clips.

However, I’ve been struggling with a major issue for several weeks now. I want the clips to loop seamlessly like GIFs, without any bugs, as the app’s purpose is purely aesthetic. But I have two problems:
1️⃣ If the top clip is playing, the ones in the PageView do not play, and vice versa.
2️⃣ When swiping through the PageView, the clips take about a second to load, whereas I want all the clips to be preloaded when the app starts and play continuously.

I tried hosting the clips on Firebase, but that didn’t change anything.
Even worse, on the iOS simulator, the videos don’t even start—they only work when emulating on a real iPhone.

I’m a beginner in Flutter, so maybe I need to use a specific widget for the video “buttons,” or place the videos inside a particular container to prevent these bugs.

Thanks a lot! I’m attaching the page structure and VideoPlayer parameters to help you better understand the issue.
