- ios doesn't stop playing at end of duration, it just keeps on going
- android resets the playableDuration at every pause/play
A <Video>
component for react-native, as seen in
react-native-login!
Requires react-native >= 0.19.0
Run npm i -S react-native-video
Run react-native link
to link the react-native-video library.
If you would like to allow other apps to play music over your video component, add:
AppDelegate.m
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h> // import
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:nil]; // allow
...
}
Run react-native link
to link the react-native-video library.
Or if you have trouble, make the following additions to the given files manually:
android/settings.gradle
include ':react-native-video'
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android')
android/app/build.gradle
dependencies {
...
compile project(':react-native-video')
}

Add the ReactNativeVideo
project to your solution.
- Open the solution in Visual Studio 2015
- Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project...
- Select
node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideo\ReactNativeVideo.csproj
windows/myapp/myapp.csproj
Add a reference to ReactNativeVideo
to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2015:
- Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
- Check
ReactNativeVideo
from Solution Projects.

Add the ReactVideoPackage
class to your list of exported packages.

The asset system introduced in RN 0.14
allows loading image resources shared across iOS and Android without touching native code. As of RN 0.31
the same is true of mp4 video assets for Android. As of RN 0.33
iOS is also supported. Requires [email protected]
.
<Video
repeat
resizeMode='cover'
source={require('../assets/video/turntable.mp4')}
style={styles.backgroundVideo}
/>
To enable audio to play in background on iOS the audio session needs to be set to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
. See Apple documentation for additional details. (NOTE: there is now a ticket to expose this as a prop )
seek(seconds)
Seeks the video to the specified time (in seconds). Access using a ref to the component
presentFullscreenPlayer()
Toggles a fullscreen player. Access using a ref to the component.
-
See an Example integration in
react-native-login
note that this example uses an older version of this library, before we usedexport default
-- if you userequire
you will need to dorequire('react-native-video').default
as per instructions above. -
Try the included VideoPlayer example yourself:
git clone [email protected]:brentvatne/react-native-video.git cd react-native-video/Examples/VideoPlayer npm install open VideoPlayer.xcodeproj
Then
Cmd+R
to start the React Packager, build and run the project in the simulator. -
Lumpen Radio contains another example integration using local files and full screen background video.
- Add support for captions
- Add support for playing multiple videos in a sequence (will interfere with current
repeat
implementation) - Callback to get buffering progress for remote videos
- Bring API closer to HTML5
