Error: depends on dependency_overrides from unknown source, version solving failed

When I try to override a dependency like this:

dependency_overrides:
  video_player:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/sanekyy/plugins.git
      ref: caching
      path: packages/video_player/video_player

I get this error

Because my_flutter_project depends on dependency_overrides from unknown source "video_player", version solving failed. pub get failed (1; Because my_flutter_project depends on dependency_overrides from unknown source "video_player", version solving failed.) exit code 1

Any Ideas how I can override the video_player dependency such that I can use the video_player override from GitHub with other packages that use the usual video player?

For me, this was just an indentation issue. I had indented "dependency_overrides", like this:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  better_player: ^0.0.83
  dependency_overrides: # Note the indentation here.
    better_player:
      path: external-projects/betterplayer

While it should be:

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  better_player: ^0.0.83
dependency_overrides: # Note the indentation here.
  better_player:
    path: external-projects/betterplayer
