A <Video> component for react-native, as seen in react-native-login!

Requires react-native >= 0.19.0

Run npm install react-native-video --save

Install rnpm and run rnpm link react-native-video

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
  ...
}

Install rnpm and run rnpm link react-native-video

Or if you have trouble using rnpm, 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')
}

MainActivity.java

On top, where imports are:

import com.brentvatne.react.ReactVideoPackage;

Under .addPackage(new MainReactPackage()):

.addPackage(new ReactVideoPackage())

// Within your render function, assuming you have a file called
// "background.mp4" in your project. You can include multiple videos
// on a single screen if you like.
<Video source={{uri: "background"}} // Can be a URL or a local file.
       rate={1.0}                   // 0 is paused, 1 is normal.
       volume={1.0}                 // 0 is muted, 1 is normal.
       muted={false}                // Mutes the audio entirely.
       paused={false}               // Pauses playback entirely.
       resizeMode="cover"           // Fill the whole screen at aspect ratio.
       repeat={true}                // Repeat forever.
       playInBackground={false}     // Audio continues to play when app entering background.
       playWhenInactive={false}     // [iOS] Video continues to play when control or notification center are shown.
       onLoadStart={this.loadStart} // Callback when video starts to load
       onLoad={this.setDuration}    // Callback when video loads
       onProgress={this.setTime}    // Callback every ~250ms with currentTime
       onEnd={this.onEnd}           // Callback when playback finishes
       onError={this.videoError}    // Callback when video cannot be loaded
       style={styles.backgroundVideo} />

// Later on in your styles..
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  backgroundVideo: {
    position: 'absolute',
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0,
  },
});

To enable audio to play in background on iOS the audio session needs to be set to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback. See Apple documentation.

seek(seconds)

Seeks the video to the specified time (in seconds). 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 used export default -- if you use require you will need to do require('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.

• 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 <Video> reference
