Loading video files from assets

I'm trying to use Chewie to play video files that are in my assets. The videos load and autoplay fine but I can't replay them. If I press play again the progress bar goes through again but the video remains frozen on the last frame. Even if I navigate away from the video and go back this happens. The only solution I have found is to dispose of the VideoPlayerController and then reinitialize it but occasionally throws an error (not sure what still looking). Has anyone had any experience using Chewie for asset videos?

I modified the example below so that the VideoPlayerController took input from an assets file rather than an online video. I've also turned looping off. The video behaves as expected if looping is true.

import 'package:chewie/chewie.dart';
import 'package:chewie/src/chewie_player.dart';
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:video_player/video_player.dart';

void main() {
runApp(
ChewieDemo(),
);
}

class ChewieDemo extends StatefulWidget {
ChewieDemo({this.title = 'Chewie Demo'});

final String title;

@override
State createState() {
return _ChewieDemoState();
}
}

class _ChewieDemoState extends State {
TargetPlatform _platform;
VideoPlayerController _videoPlayerController1;
VideoPlayerController _videoPlayerController2;
ChewieController _chewieController;

@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_videoPlayerController1 = VideoPlayerController.asset(
'assets/video/test.mp4');
_videoPlayerController2 = VideoPlayerController.network(
'https://www.sample-videos.com/video123/mp4/480/asdasdas.mp4');
_chewieController = ChewieController(
videoPlayerController: _videoPlayerController1,
aspectRatio: 3 / 2,
autoPlay: true,
looping: false,
// Try playing around with some of these other options:

// showControls: false,
// materialProgressColors: ChewieProgressColors(
// playedColor: Colors.red,
// handleColor: Colors.blue,
// backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
// bufferedColor: Colors.lightGreen,
// ),
// placeholder: Container(
// color: Colors.grey,
// ),
// autoInitialize: true,
);
}

@override
void dispose() {
_videoPlayerController1.dispose();
_videoPlayerController2.dispose();
_chewieController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
