React Media Player

Components and decorators to help build video & audio players in React. Supports HTML5, Youtube, and Vimeo media types.

Install

npm install react-media-player --save

<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-media-player/dist/react-media-player.js"></script>
(UMD library exposed as `ReactMediaPlayer`)

Media component

A special wrapper component that collects information from the Player component and passes down the proper props to withMediaProps decorator.

Player component

This is another special component that renders your player and communicates with the Media wrapper.

src: PropTypes.string.isRequired

This is the source of the media you want to play. Currently supporting Youtube, Vimeo, and any HTML5 compatible video or audio.

vendor: PropTypes.oneOf(['youtube', 'vimeo', 'audio', 'video'])

Explicitly choose which internal component to render for the player. If nothing is set, the library does its best to determine what player to render based on the source passed in.

autoPlay: PropTypes.bool

Autoplay media when the component is mounted or src changes.

loop: PropTypes.bool

Loop the current src indefinitely.

useAudioObject: PropTypes.bool

When playing HTML5 audio, it will construct audio using the Audio class instead of rendering an element to the page.

connectSource: PropTypes.func(source, audioContext)

A chance to connect a series of AudioNode[s] when using the audio vendor. Must return a new audio node that will be connected to audioContext.destination internally.

onPlay: PropTypes.func

Callback when media starts playing.

onPause: PropTypes.func

Callback when media has been paused.

onError:PropTypes.func

Callback when an error occurs.

onDuration: PropTypes.func

Callback when the duration of the media has been calculated.

onProgress: PropTypes.func

Callback when media starts downloading.

onTimeUpdate: PropTypes.func

Callback when media time has changed.

onMute: PropTypes.func

Callback when the player has been muted.

onVolumeChange: PropTypes.func

Callback when the player volume has changed.

  MuteUnmute,
  Volume,
  Fullscreen,
} = controls
const { keyboardControls } = utils

class MediaPlayer extends Component {
  render() {
    const { Player, keyboardControls } = this.props
    return (
      <Media>
        {mediaProps => (
          <div
            className="media"
            onKeyDown={keyboardControls.bind(null, mediaProps)}
          >
            <Player src="against-them-all.mp3" className="media-player" />
            <div className="media-controls">

      <time className={className} style={style}>
