react-native-video

A

Add it to your project

1. Run npm install react-native-video --save
2. Open your project in XCode, right click on Libraries and click Add Files to "Your Project Name" (Screenshot).
3. Add libRTCVideo.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries (Screenshot).
4. Click on RCTVideo.xcodeproj in Libraries and go the Build Phases tab. Double click the text to the right of Header Search Paths and verify that it has $(SRCROOT)../react-native/React - if it isn't, then add it. This is so XCode is able to find the headers that the RCTVideo source files are referring to by pointing to the header files installed within the react-native node_modules directory. (Screenshot).
5. Whenever you want to use it within React code now you can: var Video = require('react-native-video');

Example

// 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={"background"} style={styles.backgroundVideo}
       resizeMode="cover" repeat={true} />

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

TODOS

• Support require('video!...')
• Support other extensions than mp4 - mov would be useful for playing videos from phone's camera
• Switch to AVPlayer (0.1.6)
• Switch resizeMode to prop instead of style (0.1.7)
• Add paused prop (0.1.7)
• Add rate prop
• Add volume prop
• Add muted prop
• Add some way to get back the currentTime value (0.1.9 - onProgress prop)
• Add some way to get back the duration value (0.1.8 - onLoad prop)
• Add some way to interface with seekToTime
• Add support for captions
• Add support for playing multiple videos in a sequence (will interfere with current repeat implementation)
• Any other for other AVPlayer props
