Overview
The react-native-theoplayer
package provides a THEOplayerView
component supporting video playback on the
following platforms:
- Android, Android TV & FireTV
- iOS & tvOS (Apple TV)
- HTML5, Tizen & webOS (web, mobile web, smart TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles).
This document covers the creation of a minimal app including a THEOplayerView
component,
and an overview of the accompanying example app with a user interface provided
by the @theoplayer/react-native-ui
package.
It also gives a description of the properties of the THEOplayerView
component, and
a list of features and known limitations.
Prerequisites
For each platform, a dependency to the corresponding THEOplayer SDK is included through a dependency manager:
- Gradle & Maven for Android
- Cocoapods for iOS
- npm for Web
In order to use one of these THEOplayer SDKs, it is necessary to obtain a valid THEOplayer license for that specific platform, i.e. HTML5, Android, and/or iOS. You can sign up for a THEOplayer SDK license through our portal.
If you have no previous experience in React Native, we encourage you to first explore the React Native Documentation, as it gives you a good start on one of the most popular app development frameworks.

Features
