How to print a video path in videoplayercontroller.asset() in flutter

So I was trying to make a feature where when we click an icon button it will change the video path. It will change the video path using string. I was using a print("$videoname"), to make sure the string changes, and it does. But it still doesn't work, with the videoplayercontroller.assets(): Here's the code that I was trying to make

    String videoname="Video/Intro.mp4";
              Container(
              child:Column(
                crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                children: [
                ChewieListItem(
    
                  videoPlayerController: VideoPlayerController.asset(videoname),
                  looping: false,
    
                       ),
                Container(
                  margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 20.0),
                  height: 100.0,
                  child: ListView(
                    scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
                    children: [
                      IconButton(
    
                        icon:Icon(Icons.people),
                      onPressed: (){
                              videoname="Video/Intro.mp4";
                              print("$videoname");
                      },
    
    
                      ),
    
                      IconButton(
    
                        icon:Icon(Icons.personal_video),
                        onPressed: (){
                          videoname="Video/Intro1.mp4";
                          print("$videoname");
                        },
    
    
                      ),
    
    
                    ],
                  ),
                ),
    )

Solution

You can copy paste run full code below
Step 1: Use key: UniqueKey() in ChewieListItem
Step 2: Use setState in onPressed
code snippet

ChewieListItem(
          key: UniqueKey(),
          videoPlayerController: VideoPlayerController.asset(videoname),
          looping: false,
        ),
        
 IconButton(
    icon: Icon(Icons.people),
    onPressed: () {
      setState(() {
        videoname = "Video/Intro.mp4";
        print("$videoname");
      });
    },
  ),
 IconButton(
    icon: Icon(Icons.personal_video),
    onPressed: () {
      setState(() {
        videoname = "Video/Intro1.mp4";
        print("$videoname");
      });
    },
  ),
