Why don't use Texture widget to render video output?

[XuanTung95]

• Texture widget can be used to render backend texture obtained from the texture registry.

• flutter_vlc_player obtains texture from the registry and passes it to VLC but does not use Texture widget to display it.
• Currently, flutter_vlc_player uses PlatformView to display the native view which comes with performance trade-offs, bugs, and limitations.
• Suggestion: Use Texture widget to render texture directly into Flutter engine instead of using PlatformView.

Hi @XuanTung95, I think it could be a nice idea to try, at the time this plugin was created I don't think that there was a Texture widget. So if you have time - feel free to try it and let us know how it goes.
