Need Documentation

i want to use this plugin in my flutter desktop project for playing online video. but i don't find any documentation please help me to implement this.

Not a bug , But a query

I have used dart_vlc to make a video streaming app. That only runs on android and ios only
. I want to provide desktop support too.
So i saw your library in the documentation it said i just have to call a single function
initVideoPlayerDartVlcIfNeeded();
I wanted to know if by doing this will my currrent app work on windows and linux too ?
