## react-native-video
|
||
|
||
A `<Video>` component for react-native, as seen in
|
||
[react-native-login](https://github.com/brentvatne/react-native-login)!
|
||
|
||
Version 4.x requires react-native >= 0.57.0
|
||
|
||
Version 3.x requires react-native >= 0.40.0
|
||
|
||
### 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:
|
||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>iOS</summary>
|
||
|
||
### Standard Method
|
||
|
||
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>
|
||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>tvOS</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>
|
||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>Android</summary>
|
||
|
||
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**
|
||
|
||
```gradle
|
||
dependencies {
|
||
...
|
||
compile project(':react-native-video')
|
||
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**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()
|
||
);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|

// "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

### Configurable props
|
||
|
||
#### allowsExternalPlayback
|
||
Indicates whether the player allows switching to external playback mode such as AirPlay or HDMI.
|
||
* **true (default)** - allow switching to external playback mode
|
||
* **false** - Don't allow switching to external playback mode
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### audioOnly
|
||
Indicates whether the player should only play the audio track and instead of displaying the video track, show the poster instead.
|
||
* **false (default)** - Display the video as normal
|
||
* **true** - Show the poster and play the audio
|
||
|
||
For this to work, the poster prop must be set.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: all
|
||
|
||
#### bufferConfig
|
||
Adjust the buffer settings. This prop takes an object with one or more of the properties listed below.
|
||
|
||
Property | Type | Description
|
||
--- | --- | ---
|
||
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.
|
||
playbackAfterRebufferMs | 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
|
||
}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer
|
||
|
||
#### controls
|
||
Determines whether to show player controls.
|
||
* ** false (default)** - Don't show player controls
|
||
* **true** - Show player controls
|
||
|
||
Note on iOS, controls are always shown when in fullscreen mode.
|
||
|
||
For Android MediaPlayer, you will need to build your own controls or use a package like [react-native-video-controls](https://github.com/itsnubix/react-native-video-controls) or [react-native-video-player](https://github.com/cornedor/react-native-video-player).
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, iOS, react-native-dom
|
||
|
||
#### filter
|
||
Add video filter
|
||
* **FilterType.NONE (default)** - No Filter
|
||
* **FilterType.INVERT** - CIColorInvert
|
||
* **FilterType.MONOCHROME** - CIColorMonochrome
|
||
* **FilterType.POSTERIZE** - CIColorPosterize
|
||
* **FilterType.FALSE** - CIFalseColor
|
||
* **FilterType.MAXIMUMCOMPONENT** - CIMaximumComponent
|
||
* **FilterType.MINIMUMCOMPONENT** - CIMinimumComponent
|
||

|
||
* **FilterType.FADE** - CIPhotoEffectFade
|
||
* **FilterType.INSTANT** - CIPhotoEffectInstant

|
||
* **FilterType.NOIR** - CIPhotoEffectNoir
|
||
* **FilterType.PROCESS** - CIPhotoEffectProcess
|
||
* **FilterType.TONAL** - CIPhotoEffectTonal
|
||
* **FilterType.TRANSFER** - CIPhotoEffectTransfer
|
||
* **FilterType.SEPIA** - CISepiaTone
|
||
|
||
For more details on these filters refer to the [iOS docs](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/CoreImageFilterReference/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000136-SW55).
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Using a filter can impact CPU usage. A workaround is to save the video with the filter and then load the saved video.
|
||
2. Video filter is currently not supported on HLS playlists.
|
||
3. `filterEnabled` must be set to `true`
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### filterEnabled
|
||
Enable video filter.
|
||
|
||
* **false (default)** - Don't enable filter
|
||
* **true** - Enable filter
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### fullscreen
|
||
Controls whether the player enters fullscreen on play.
|
||
* **false (default)** - Don't display the video in fullscreen
|
||
* **true** - Display the video in fullscreen
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### fullscreenAutorotate
|
||
If a preferred [fullscreenOrientation](#fullscreenorientation) is set, causes the video to rotate to that orientation but permits rotation of the screen to orientation held by user. Defaults to TRUE.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### fullscreenOrientation
|
||
|
||
* **all (default)** -
|
||
* **landscape**
|
||
* **portrait**
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### headers
|
||
Pass headers to the HTTP client. Can be used for authorization. Headers must be a part of the source object.
|
||
|
||
To enable this on iOS, you will need to manually edit RCTVideo.m and uncomment the header code in the playerItemForSource function. This is because the code used a private API and may cause your app to be rejected by the App Store. Use at your own risk.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
source={{
|
||
uri: "https://www.example.com/video.mp4",
|
||
headers: {
|
||
Authorization: 'bearer some-token-value',
|
||
'X-Custom-Header': 'some value'
|
||
}
|
||
}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer
|
||
|
||
#### hideShutterView
|
||
Controls whether the ExoPlayer shutter view (black screen while loading) is enabled.

|
||
* **true** - Hide shutter view
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer
|
||
|
||
#### id
|
||
Set the DOM id element so you can use document.getElementById on web platforms. Accepts string values.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
id="video"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: react-native-dom
|
||
|
||
#### ignoreSilentSwitch
|
||
Controls the iOS silent switch behavior
|
||
* **"inherit" (default)** - Use the default AVPlayer behavior

#### maxBitRate
|
||
Sets the desired limit, in bits per second, of network bandwidth consumption when multiple video streams are available for a playlist.
|
||
|
||
Default: 0. Don't limit the maxBitRate.

Example:
|
||
```
|
||
minLoadRetryCount={5} // retry 5 times
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer

||
#### 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

|
||
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"
|

|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, iOS
|
||
|
||
#### useTextureView
|
||

|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|

`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.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 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)
