### Load files with the RN Asset System
The asset system [introduced in RN `0.14`](http://www.reactnative.com/react-native-v0-14-0-released/) allows loading local static resources using a `require` statement. As of version `react-native-video@0.9.0`, it's also be used to load video files in the same manner, e.g.
```
<Video
repeat
resizeMode='cover'
source={require('../assets/video/turntable-loop-1920x500-h264-512kbps-h264.mp4')}
style={styles.backgroundVideo}
/>
```
**Tip**: When loading files locally on iOS it's necessary to add static video file to the _Copy Bundle Resources_ section of _Build Phases_ for your project's build target in Xcode.
### Play in background on iOS
To enable audio to play in background on iOS the audio session needs to be set to `AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback`. See [Apple documentation][3].

- See an [Example integration][1] 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.
