A NativeScript plugin to provide the ability to play local and remote videos.
For a 100% NativeScript plugin use the NativeScript-VideoPlayer.
| Android | iOS |
|---|---|
| Google ExoPlayer | iOS AVPlayer |
This is based on the awesome NativeScript-VideoPlayer; the Android side was re-written to use Google's enhanced ExoPlayer.
Since there is a lot of cases where you might still want a 100% NativeScript plugin, Brad and I decided to make this a separate plugin so that you can use the original NativeScript-VideoPlayer for those cases where you want a pure JS plugin.
The Google ExoPlayer adds about a meg and a half plugin to the application.

From your command prompt/terminal go to your app's root folder and execute:
tns plugin add nativescript-exoplayer
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd"
xmlns:exoplayer="nativescript-exoplayer">
<StackLayout>
<exoplayer:Video id="nativeexoplayer"
controls="true" finished="{{ videoFinished }}"
loop="true" autoplay="false" height="280"
src="~/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4" />
<!-- Remote file to test with https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4 -->
</StackLayout>
</Page>// somewhere at top of your component or bootstrap file
import {registerElement} from "nativescript-angular/element-registry";
registerElement("exoplayer", () => require("nativescript-exoplayer").Video);
// documentation: https://docs.nativescript.org/angular/plugins/angular-third-party.html#simple-elementsWith AngularNative you have to explicitly close all components so the correct template code is below.
<exoplayer
src="https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"
autoplay="true"
height="300"></exoplayer>- src - required
