###video meta data loaded callback onece the meta data is loaded, you can get the info of this video(width,height,duration...etc), then you can use the returnd api to perform basic actions

The returned api has these properties:

Property	Type	Description
$video	DOM Node	the HTML5 video DOM node, you can attatch event listeners to $video
fullscreen	function	make video enter fullscreen mode
setTime	function	setTime(number) to change seekbar time
togglePlay	function	play or pause video
volume	function	change volumn between 0 to 1.0
align="left">registerProgressEventListener	align="left">function	align="left">You can call this function get updates on how much the video has played.

class App extends React.Component{
	loaded(api){
		this.videoApi = api;
		// console.log( api.$video.duration ) 
		// to toggle play state, just call this.videoApi.togglePlay()
	}
	render(){
		return(
			<Video sources={sources}  metaDataLoaded={this.loaded}/>
		)
	}
}

registerProgressEventListener

class App extends React.Component{
	loaded(api){
		api.registerProgressEventListener((percent) => {
			console.log("Video has now played ", percent, " percent")
		})
	}
	render(){
		return(
			<Video sources={sources}  metaDataLoaded={this.loaded}/>
		)
	}
}
