Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

react-native-video

A <Video> component for react-native, as seen in react-native-login!

Requires react-native >= 0.40.0, for RN support of 0.19.0 - 0.39.0 please use a pre 1.0 version.

Add it to your project

Run npm i -S react-native-video

iOS

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

If you would like to allow other apps to play music over your video component, add:

AppDelegate.m

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>  // import

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

Note: you can also use the ignoreSilentSwitch prop, shown below.

tvOS

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

react-native link don’t works properly with the tvOS target so we need to add the library manually.

First select your project in Xcode.

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

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

Select RCTVideo-tvOS

That’s all, you can use react-native-video for your tvOS application

Android

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

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

android/settings.gradle

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

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
   ...
   compile project(':react-native-video')
}

MainApplication.java

On top, where imports are:

import com.brentvatne.react.ReactVideoPackage;

Add the ReactVideoPackage class to your list of exported packages.

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

Windows

Make the following additions to the given files manually:

windows/myapp.sln

Add the ReactNativeVideo project to your solution.

  1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2015
  2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project...

UWP: Select node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideo\ReactNativeVideo.csproj WPF: Select node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideo.Net46\ReactNativeVideo.Net46.csproj

windows/myapp/myapp.csproj

Add a reference to ReactNativeVideo to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2015:

  1. Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...

UWP: Check ReactNativeVideo from Solution Projects. WPF: Check ReactNativeVideo.Net46 from Solution Projects.

MainPage.cs

Add the ReactVideoPackage class to your list of exported packages.

using ReactNative;
using ReactNative.Modules.Core;
using ReactNative.Shell;
using ReactNativeVideo; // <-- Add this
using System.Collections.Generic;
...

        public override List<IReactPackage> Packages
        {
            get
            {
                return new List<IReactPackage>
                {
                    new MainReactPackage(),
                    new ReactVideoPackage(), // <-- Add this
                };
            }
        }

...

Usage

// 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.
       poster="https://baconmockup.com/300/200/" // uri to an image to display until the video plays
       ref={(ref) => {
         this.player = ref
       }}                                      // Store reference
       rate={1.0}                              // 0 is paused, 1 is normal.
       volume={1.0}                            // 0 is muted, 1 is normal.
       muted={false}                           // Mutes the audio entirely.
       paused={false}                          // Pauses playback entirely.
       resizeMode="cover"                      // Fill the whole screen at aspect ratio.*
       repeat={true}                           // Repeat forever.
       playInBackground={false}                // Audio continues to play when app entering background.
       playWhenInactive={false}                // [iOS] Video continues to play when control or notification center are shown.
       ignoreSilentSwitch={"ignore"}           // [iOS] ignore | obey - When 'ignore', audio will still play with the iOS hard silent switch set to silent. When 'obey', audio will toggle with the switch. When not specified, will inherit audio settings as usual.
       progressUpdateInterval={250.0}          // [iOS] Interval to fire onProgress (default to ~250ms)
       onLoadStart={this.loadStart}            // Callback when video starts to load
       onLoad={this.setDuration}               // Callback when video loads
       onProgress={this.setTime}               // Callback every ~250ms with currentTime
       onEnd={this.onEnd}                      // Callback when playback finishes
       onError={this.videoError}               // Callback when video cannot be loaded
       onBuffer={this.onBuffer}                // Callback when remote video is buffering
       onTimedMetadata={this.onTimedMetadata}  // Callback when the stream receive some metadata
       style={styles.backgroundVideo} />

// Later to trigger fullscreen
this.player.presentFullscreenPlayer()

// To set video position in seconds (seek)
this.player.seek(0)

// Later on in your styles..
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  backgroundVideo: {
    position: 'absolute',
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0,
  },
});
    • For iOS you also need to specify muted for this to work

To see full list of available props, you can check the propTypes of the Video.js component.

Android Expansion File Usage

// 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.
       poster="https://baconmockup.com/300/200/" // uri to an image to display until the video plays
       rate={1.0}                   // 0 is paused, 1 is normal.
       volume={1.0}                 // 0 is muted, 1 is normal.
       muted={false}                // Mutes the audio entirely.
       paused={false}               // Pauses playback entirely.
       resizeMode="cover"           // Fill the whole screen at aspect ratio.
       repeat={true}                // Repeat forever.
       onLoadStart={this.loadStart} // Callback when video starts to load
       onLoad={this.setDuration}    // Callback when video loads
       onProgress={this.setTime}    // Callback every ~250ms with currentTime
       onEnd={this.onEnd}           // Callback when playback finishes
       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,
  },
});

Load files with the RN Asset System

The asset system introduced in RN 0.14 allows loading image resources shared across iOS and Android without touching native code. As of RN 0.31 the same is true of mp4 video assets for Android. As of RN 0.33 iOS is also supported. Requires [email protected].

<Video
  repeat
  resizeMode='cover'
  source={require('../assets/video/turntable.mp4')}
  style={styles.backgroundVideo}
/>

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 for additional details. (NOTE: there is now a ticket to expose this as a prop )

Static Methods

seek(seconds)

Seeks the video to the specified time (in seconds). Access using a ref to the component

presentFullscreenPlayer()

Toggles a fullscreen player. Access using a ref to the component.

Examples

  • See an Example integration 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 yourself:

    git clone [email protected]: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 contains another example integration using local files and full screen background video.

TODOS

  • [ ] Add support for captions
  • [ ] 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
