## react-native-video-inc-ads
an addon property (**adTagUrl**) to support google ima on react-native-video. 
Thanks to https://github.com/RobbyWH for his great work. I just merged his ima branch with latest react-native-video branch.

const adTagUrl = "https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/124319096/external/"
+ "ad_rule_samples&ciu_szs=300x250&ad_rule=1&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp"
+ "&output=vmap&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite"
+ "%26sample_ar%3Dpremidpost&cmsid=496&vid=short_onecue&correlator=";

In case of any issue, one can follow RobbyWH's comments on the issue : https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/issues/488 :)

A new function property `onReceiveAdEvent` added. this is used to notify ad events from native component to react component. 

## react-native-video

A `<Video>` component for react-native, as seen in
[react-native-login](https://github.com/brentvatne/react-native-login)!

Version 5.x recommends react-native >= 0.60.0 for Android 64bit builds and Android X support.

Version 4.x requires react-native >= 0.57.0

Version 3.x requires react-native >= 0.40.0

### Version 5.0.0 breaking changes

Version 5 introduces breaking changes on Android, please check carefully the steps described there: [Android Installation](#Android-installation)

### Version 4.0.0 breaking changes
Version 4.0.0 changes some behaviors and may require updates to your Gradle files.  See [Updating](#updating) for details.

Version 4.0.0 now requires Android target SDK 26+ and Gradle 3 plugin in order to support ExoPlayer 2.9.0. Google is dropping support for apps using target SDKs older than 26 as of October 2018 and Gradle 2 as of January 2019. React Native 0.57 defaults to Gradle 3 & SDK 27.

If you need to support an older React Native version, you should use react-native-video 3.2.1.

### Version 3.0.0 breaking changes
Version 3.0 features a number of changes to existing behavior. See [Updating](#updating) for changes.

## Installation

Using npm:

```shell
npm install --save react-native-video
```

or using yarn:

```shell
yarn add react-native-video
```

Then follow the instructions for your platform to link react-native-video into your project:

### iOS installation
<details>
  <summary>iOS details</summary>

#### Standard Method

**React Native 0.60 and above**

Run `npx pod-install`. Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above.

**React Native 0.59 and below**

Run `react-native link react-native-video` to link the react-native-video library.

#### Using CocoaPods (required to enable caching)

Setup your Podfile like it is described in the [react-native documentation](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps#configuring-cocoapods-dependencies). 

Depending on your requirements you have to choose between the two possible subpodspecs:

Video only:

```diff
  pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
+  `pod 'react-native-video', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-video/react-native-video.podspec'`
end
```

Video with caching ([more info](docs/caching.md)):

```diff
  pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
+  `pod 'react-native-video/VideoCaching', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-video/react-native-video.podspec'`
end
```

</details>

### tvOS installation
  <details>
  <summary>tvOS details</summary>

`react-native link react-native-video` doesn’t work properly with the tvOS target so we need to add the library manually.

First select your project in Xcode.

<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-1.jpg" width="40%">

After that, select the tvOS target of your application and select « General » tab

<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-2.jpg" width="40%">

Scroll to « Linked Frameworks and Libraries » and tap on the + button

<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-3.jpg" width="40%">

Select RCTVideo-tvOS

<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-4.jpg" width="40%">
</details>

### Android installation
<details>
  <summary>Android details</summary>
 
Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above.
If your project is using React Native < 0.60, run `react-native link react-native-video` to link the react-native-video library.

Or if you have trouble, make the following additions to the given files manually:

#### **android/settings.gradle**

The newer ExoPlayer library will work for most people.

```gradle
include ':react-native-video'
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer')
```

If you need to use the old Android MediaPlayer based player, use the following instead:

```gradle
include ':react-native-video'
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android')
```

#### **android/app/build.gradle**

From version >= 5.0.0, you have to apply these changes:

```diff
dependencies {
   ...
    compile project(':react-native-video')
+   implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0"
-   implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"

}
```

#### **android/gradle.properties**

Migrating to AndroidX (needs version >= 5.0.0):

```gradle.properties
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
```

#### **MainApplication.java**

On top, where imports are:

```java
import com.brentvatne.react.ReactVideoPackage;
```

Add the `ReactVideoPackage` class to your list of exported packages.

```java
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    return Arrays.asList(
            new MainReactPackage(),
            new ReactVideoPackage()
    );
}
```
</details>

### Windows installation
<details>
  <summary>Windows RNW C++/WinRT details</summary>

#### Autolinking

**React Native Windows 0.63 and above**

Autolinking should automatically add react-native-video to your app.

#### Manual Linking

**React Native Windows 0.62**

Make the following additions to the given files manually:

##### **windows\myapp.sln**

Add the _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ project to your solution (eg. `windows\myapp.sln`):

1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019
2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project...
3. Select `node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideoCPP\ReactNativeVideoCPP.vcxproj`

##### **windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj**

Add a reference to _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ to your main application project (eg. `windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj`):

1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019
2. Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
3. Check _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ from Solution Projects

##### **pch.h**

Add `#include "winrt/ReactNativeVideoCPP.h"`.

##### **app.cpp**

Add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativeVideoCPP::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`.

**React Native Windows 0.61 and below**

Follow the manual linking instuctions for React Native Windows 0.62 above, but substitute _ReactNativeVideoCPP61_ for _ReactNativeVideoCPP_.

</details>

### react-native-dom installation
<details>
  <summary>react-native-dom details</summary>

Make the following additions to the given files manually:

#### **dom/bootstrap.js**

Import RCTVideoManager and add it to the list of nativeModules:

```javascript
import { RNDomInstance } from "react-native-dom";
import { name as appName } from "../app.json";
import RCTVideoManager from 'react-native-video/dom/RCTVideoManager'; // Add this

// Path to RN Bundle Entrypoint ================================================
const rnBundlePath = "./entry.bundle?platform=dom&dev=true";

// React Native DOM Runtime Options =============================================
const ReactNativeDomOptions = {
  enableHotReload: false,
  nativeModules: [RCTVideoManager] // Add this
};
```
</details>

## Usage

```javascript
// Load the module

import Video from 'react-native-video';

// 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.
       ref={(ref) => {
         this.player = ref
       }}                                      // Store reference
       onBuffer={this.onBuffer}                // Callback when remote video is buffering
       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,
  },
});

minBufferMs | number | The default minimum duration of media that the player will attempt to ensure is buffered at all times, in milliseconds.
maxBufferMs | number | The default maximum duration of media that the player will attempt to buffer, in milliseconds.
bufferForPlaybackMs | number | The default duration of media that must be buffered for playback to start or resume following a user action such as a seek, in milliseconds.
bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs | number | The default duration of media that must be buffered for playback to resume after a rebuffer, in milliseconds. A rebuffer is defined to be caused by buffer depletion rather than a user action.

This prop should only be set when you are setting the source, changing it after the media is loaded will cause it to be reloaded.

Example with default values:
```
bufferConfig={{
  minBufferMs: 15000,
  maxBufferMs: 50000,
  bufferForPlaybackMs: 2500,
  bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs: 5000

Note: Your app will need to request permission to read external storage if you're accessing a file outside your app.

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, possibly others

###### iPod Library (ipod-library://)

Path to a sound file in your iTunes library. Typically shared from iTunes to your app.

Example:
```
source={{ uri: 'ipod-library:///path/to/music.mp3' }}
```

Note: Using this feature adding an entry for NSAppleMusicUsageDescription to your Info.plist file as described [here](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html)

Platforms: iOS

##### Explicit mimetype for the stream

Provide a member `type` with value (`mpd`/`m3u8`/`ism`) inside the source object.
Sometimes is needed when URL extension does not match with the mimetype that you are expecting, as seen on the next example. (Extension is .ism -smooth streaming- but file served is on format mpd -mpeg dash-)

Example:
```
source={{ uri: 'http://host-serving-a-type-different-than-the-extension.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf)',
type: 'mpd' }}
```

###### Other protocols

The following other types are supported on some platforms, but aren't fully documented yet:
`content://, ms-appx://, ms-appdata://, assets-library://`


#### stereoPan
Adjust the balance of the left and right audio channels.  Any value between –1.0 and 1.0 is accepted.
* **-1.0** - Full left
* **0.0 (default)** - Center
* **1.0** - Full right

Platforms: Android MediaPlayer

#### textTracks
Load one or more "sidecar" text tracks. This takes an array of objects representing each track. Each object should have the format:

Property | Description
--- | ---
title | Descriptive name for the track
language | 2 letter [ISO 639-1 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) representing the language
type | Mime type of the track<br> * TextTrackType.SRT - SubRip (.srt)<br> * TextTrackType.TTML - TTML (.ttml)<br> * TextTrackType.VTT - WebVTT (.vtt)<br>iOS only supports VTT, Android ExoPlayer supports all 3
uri | URL for the text track. Currently, only tracks hosted on a webserver are supported

On iOS, sidecar text tracks are only supported for individual files, not HLS playlists. For HLS, you should include the text tracks as part of the playlist.

Note: Due to iOS limitations, sidecar text tracks are not compatible with Airplay. If textTracks are specified, AirPlay support will be automatically disabled.

Example:
```
import { TextTrackType }, Video from 'react-native-video';

textTracks={[
  {
    title: "English CC",
    language: "en",
    type: TextTrackType.VTT, // "text/vtt"
    uri: "https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/subtitles/subtitles_en.vtt"
  },
  {
    title: "Spanish Subtitles",
    language: "es",
    type: TextTrackType.SRT, // "application/x-subrip"
    uri: "https://durian.blender.org/wp-content/content/subtitles/sintel_es.srt"
  }
]}
```


Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, iOS

#### trackId
Configure an identifier for the video stream to link the playback context to the events emitted.

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer

#### useTextureView
Controls whether to output to a TextureView or SurfaceView.

SurfaceView is more efficient and provides better performance but has two limitations:
* It can't be animated, transformed or scaled
* You can't overlay multiple SurfaceViews

useTextureView can only be set at same time you're setting the source.

* **true (default)** - Use a TextureView
* **false** - Use a SurfaceView

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer

#### volume
Adjust the volume.
* **1.0 (default)** - Play at full volume
* **0.0** - Mute the audio
* **Other values** - Reduce volume

Platforms: all


### Event props

#### onAudioBecomingNoisy
Callback function that is called when the audio is about to become 'noisy' due to a change in audio outputs.

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, iOS, Windows UWP

#### onRestoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStop
Callback function that corresponds to Apple's [`restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStopWithCompletionHandler`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/avpictureinpicturecontrollerdelegate/1614703-pictureinpicturecontroller?language=objc). Call `restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStopCompleted` inside of this function when done restoring the user interface.

  ]
}
```

Support for timed metadata on Android MediaPlayer is limited at best and only compatible with some videos. It requires a target SDK of 23 or higher.

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, iOS

### Methods
Methods operate on a ref to the Video element. You can create a ref using code like:
```
return (
  <Video source={...}
    ref={ref => (this.player = ref)} />
);
```

#### dismissFullscreenPlayer
`dismissFullscreenPlayer()`

Take the player out of fullscreen mode.

Example:
```
this.player.dismissFullscreenPlayer();
```

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, iOS

#### presentFullscreenPlayer
`presentFullscreenPlayer()`

Put the player in fullscreen mode.

On iOS, this displays the video in a fullscreen view controller with controls.

On Android ExoPlayer & MediaPlayer, this puts the navigation controls in fullscreen mode. It is not a complete fullscreen implementation, so you will still need to apply a style that makes the width and height match your screen dimensions to get a fullscreen video.

Example:
```
this.player.presentFullscreenPlayer();
```

Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, iOS

#### save
`save(): Promise`

Save video to your Photos with current filter prop. Returns promise.

Example:
```
let response = await this.player.save();
let path = response.uri;
```

Notes:
 - Currently only supports highest quality export
 - Currently only supports MP4 export
 - Currently only supports exporting to user's cache directory with a generated UUID filename. 
 - User will need to remove the saved video through their Photos app
 - Works with cached videos as well. (Checkout video-caching example)
 - If the video is has not began buffering (e.g. there is no internet connection) then the save function will throw an error.
 - If the video is buffering then the save function promise will return after the video has finished buffering and processing.

Future: 
 - Will support multiple qualities through options
 - Will support more formats in the future through options
 - Will support custom directory and file name through options

Platforms: iOS

#### restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStopCompleted
`restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStopCompleted(restored)`

This function corresponds to the completion handler in Apple's [restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStop](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/avpictureinpicturecontrollerdelegate/1614703-pictureinpicturecontroller?language=objc). IMPORTANT: This function must be called after `onRestoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStop` is called. 

Example:
```
this.player.restoreUserInterfaceForPictureInPictureStopCompleted(true);
```

Platforms: iOS

#### seek()
`seek(seconds)`

Seek to the specified position represented by seconds. seconds is a float value.

`seek()` can only be called after the `onLoad` event has fired. Once completed, the [onSeek](#onseek) event will be called.

Example:
```
this.player.seek(200); // Seek to 3 minutes, 20 seconds
```

Platforms: all

##### Exact seek

By default iOS seeks within 100 milliseconds of the target position. If you need more accuracy, you can use the seek with tolerance method:

`seek(seconds, tolerance)`

tolerance is the max distance in milliseconds from the seconds position that's allowed. Using a more exact tolerance can cause seeks to take longer. If you want to seek exactly, set tolerance to 0.

Example:
```
this.player.seek(120, 50); // Seek to 2 minutes with +/- 50 milliseconds accuracy
```

Platforms: iOS




### iOS App Transport Security

- By default, iOS will only load encrypted (https) urls. If you want to load content from an unencrypted (http) source, you will need to modify your Info.plist file and add the following entry:

<img src="./docs/AppTransportSecuritySetting.png" width="50%">

For more detailed info check this [article](https://cocoacasts.com/how-to-add-app-transport-security-exception-domains)
</details>

### Audio Mixing

At some point in the future, react-native-video will include an Audio Manager for configuring how videos mix with other apps playing sounds on the device.

On iOS, if you would like to allow other apps to play music over your video component, make the following change:

**AppDelegate.m**

```objective-c
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>  // import

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ...
  [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:nil];  // allow
  ...
}
```

You can also use the [ignoreSilentSwitch](#ignoresilentswitch) prop.
</details>

### Android Expansion File Usage
Expansions files allow you to ship assets that exceed the 100MB apk size limit and don't need to be updated each time you push an app update.

This only supports mp4 files and they must not be compressed. Example command line for preventing compression:
```bash
zip -r -n .mp4 *.mp4 player.video.example.com
```

```javascript
// Within your render function, assuming you have a file called
// "background.mp4" in your expansion file. Just add your main and (if applicable) patch version
<Video source={{uri: "background", mainVer: 1, patchVer: 0}} // Looks for .mp4 file (background.mp4) in the given expansion version.
       resizeMode="cover"           // Fill the whole screen at aspect ratio.
       style={styles.backgroundVideo} />
```

### 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 image resources shared across iOS and Android without touching native code. As of RN `0.31` [the same is true](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/91ff6868a554c4930fd5fda6ba8044dbd56c8374) of mp4 video assets for Android. As of [RN `0.33`](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.33.0) iOS is also supported. Requires `react-native-video@0.9.0`.

```javascript
<Video
  source={require('../assets/video/turntable.mp4')}
/>
```

### 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] for additional details. (NOTE: there is now a ticket to [expose this as a prop]( https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/310) )

## Examples

- 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.*
- Try the included [VideoPlayer example][2] yourself:

   ```sh
   git clone git@github.com:react-native-community/react-native-video.git
   cd react-native-video/example
   npm install
   open ios/VideoPlayer.xcodeproj

   ```

   Then `Cmd+R` to start the React Packager, build and run the project in the simulator.

- [Lumpen Radio](https://github.com/jhabdas/lumpen-radio) contains another example integration using local files and full screen background video.

## Updating

### Version 5.0.0

Probably you want to update your gradle version:
#### gradle-wrapper.properties
```diff
- distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
+ distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
```

#### **android/app/build.gradle**

From version >= 5.0.0, you have to apply this changes:

```diff
dependencies {
   ...
    compile project(':react-native-video')
+   implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0"
-   implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"

}
```

#### **android/gradle.properties**

Migrating to AndroidX (needs version >= 5.0.0):

```gradle.properties
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
```

### Version 4.0.0

#### Gradle 3 and target SDK 26 requirement
In order to support ExoPlayer 2.9.0, you must use version 3 or higher of the Gradle plugin. This is included by default in React Native 0.57.

#### ExoPlayer 2.9.0 Java 1.8 requirement
ExoPlayer 2.9.0 uses some Java 1.8 features, so you may need to enable support for Java 1.8 in your app/build.gradle file. If you get an error, compiling with ExoPlayer like:
`Default interface methods are only supported starting with Android N (--min-api 24)`

Add the following to your app/build.gradle file:
```
android {
   ... // Various other settings go here
   compileOptions {
     targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
   }
}
```

#### ExoPlayer no longer detaches
When using a router like the react-navigation TabNavigator, switching between tab routes would previously cause ExoPlayer to detach causing the video player to pause. We now don't detach the view, allowing the video to continue playing in a background tab. This matches the behavior for iOS. Android MediaPlayer will crash if it detaches when switching routes, so its behavior has not been changed.

#### useTextureView now defaults to true
The SurfaceView, which ExoPlayer has been using by default has a number of quirks that people are unaware of and often cause issues. This includes not supporting animations or scaling. It also causes strange behavior if you overlay two videos on top of each other, because the SurfaceView will [punch a hole](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/SurfaceView) through other views. Since TextureView doesn't have these issues and behaves in the way most developers expect, it makes sense to make it the default.

TextureView is not as fast as SurfaceView, so you may still want to enable SurfaceView support. To do this, you can set `useTextureView={false}`.


### Version 3.0.0

#### All platforms now auto-play
Previously, on Android ExoPlayer if the paused prop was not set, the media would not automatically start playing. The only way it would work was if you set `paused={false}`. This has been changed to automatically play if paused is not set so that the behavior is consistent across platforms.

#### All platforms now keep their paused state when returning from the background
Previously, on Android MediaPlayer if you setup an AppState event when the app went into the background and set a paused prop so that when you returned to the app the video would be paused it would be ignored.

Note, Windows does not have a concept of an app going into the background, so this doesn't apply there.

#### Use Android target SDK 27 by default
Version 3.0 updates the Android build tools and SDK to version 27. React Native is in the process of [switchting over](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/18095#issuecomment-395596130) to SDK 27 in preparation for Google's requirement that new Android apps [use SDK 26](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html) by August 2018.

You will either need to install the version 27 SDK and version 27.0.3 buildtools or modify your build.gradle file to configure react-native-video to use the same build settings as the rest of your app as described below.

##### Using app build settings
You will need to create a `project.ext` section in the top-level build.gradle file (not app/build.gradle). Fill in the values from the example below using the values found in your app/build.gradle file.
```
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ... // Various other settings go here
}

allprojects {
    ... // Various other settings go here

    project.ext {
        compileSdkVersion = 23
        buildToolsVersion = "23.0.1"

        minSdkVersion = 16
        targetSdkVersion = 22
    }
}
```

If you encounter an error `Could not find com.android.support:support-annotations:27.0.0.` reinstall your Android Support Repository.

## TODOS

- [ ] Add support for playing multiple videos in a sequence (will interfere with current `repeat` implementation)
- [x] Callback to get buffering progress for remote videos
- [ ] Bring API closer to HTML5 `<Video>` [reference](http://devdocs.io/html/element/video)
