# A `<Video>` component for React Native
## About
`react-native-video` is a React Native library that provides a Video component that renders media content such as videos and streams
It allows to stream video files (m3u, mpd, mp4, ...) inside your react native application.
- Exoplayer for android
- AVplayer for iOS, tvOS and visionOS
- Windows UWP for windows
- Trick mode support
- Subtitles (embeded or side loaded)
- DRM support
- Client side Ads insertion (via google IMA)
- Pip (ios)
- Embedded playback controls
- And much more
The aim of this package is to have a thin and exhaustive control of player.
## V6.0.0 Information
> ⚠️ **Version 6**: The following documentation refer to features only available through the v6.0.0 releases.
> As major rework has been done in case of doubt, you can still use [version 5.2.x, see documentation](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/blob/v5.2.0/README.md)
Version 6.x requires **react-native >= 0.68.2**
> ⚠️ from **6.0.0-beta.8** requires also **iOS >= 13.0** (default in react-native 0.73)
For older versions of react-native, [please use version 5.x](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/tree/v5.2.0).
## Usage
```javascript
// Load the module
import Video, {VideoRef} 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.
const VideoPlayer = () => {
const videoRef = useRef<VideoRef>(null);
const background = require('./background.mp4');
return (
<Video
// Can be a URL or a local file.
source={background}
// Store reference
ref={videoRef}
// Callback when remote video is buffering
onBuffer={onBuffer}
// Callback when video cannot be loaded
onError={onError}
style={styles.backgroundVideo}
/>
)
}
// Later on in your styles..
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
backgroundVideo: {
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
left: 0,
bottom: 0,
right: 0,
},
});
```
