expo-video: a simple, powerful way to play videos in apps
Blog post from Expo
Expo-video introduces a comprehensive solution for integrating video capabilities into Android, iOS, web, and TV applications through a user-friendly API that leverages the new SharedObject API. Replacing the outdated Video component of expo-av, expo-video offers enhanced features such as object-oriented API design, improved event handling, Picture-in-Picture support, DRM compatibility, and advanced subtitle management. The VideoPlayer, now separated from the VideoView, holds a direct reference to native player instances, allowing dynamic control over player properties and memory usage without altering the React state. Additionally, expo-video supports Now Playing notifications and closed captions, with future updates promising ad support, offline caching, and more advanced DRM settings. The development of expo-video was greatly supported by contributions from the Expo community, ensuring a stable and feature-rich experience for developers.
