react-native-fast-player

A <Video> component for react-native.

NOTE: Currently this package supports for android platform only

Installation

Using npm:

npm install --save react-native-fast-player

or using yarn:

yarn add react-native-fast-player

Then follow the instructions for your platform to link react-native-fast-player into your project:

Android installation

Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above. If your project is using React Native < 0.60, run react-native link react-native-fast-player 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.

include ':react-native-fast-player'
project(':react-native-fast-player').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-fast-player/android')

MainApplication.java

If using com.facebook.react.PackageList to auto import native dependencies, there are no updates required here. Please see the android example project for more details. /examples/basic/android/app/src/main/java/com/videoplayer/MainApplication.java

For manual linking

On top, where imports are:

import com.out.rn_video.RNVideoPackage;

Add the RNVideoPackage class to your list of exported packages.

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

Usage

// Load the module

import VideoPlayer from 'react-native-fast-player';

// 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.
