Indicates whether the player allows switching to external playback mode such as AirPlay or HDMI.
***true (default)** - allow switching to external playback mode
***false** - Don't allow switching to external playback mode
Platforms: iOS
#### audioOnly
Indicates whether the player should only play the audio track and instead of displaying the video track, show the poster instead.
***false (default)** - Display the video as normal
***true** - Show the poster and play the audio
For this to work, the poster prop must be set.
Platforms: all
#### ignoreSilentSwitch
Controls the iOS silent switch behavior
***"inherit" (default)** - Use the default AVPlayer behavior
***"ignore"** - Play audio even if the silent switch is set
***"obey"** - Don't play audio if the silent switch is set
Platforms: iOS
#### muted
Controls whether the audio is muted
***false (default)** - Don't mute audio
***true** - Mute audio
Platforms: all
#### paused
Controls whether the media is paused
***false (default)** - Pause the media
***true** - Don't pause the media
Platforms: all
#### playInBackground
Determine whether the media should continue playing while the app is in the background. This allows customers to continue listening to the audio.
***false (default)** - Don't continue playing the media
***true** - Continue playing the media
To use this feature on iOS, you must:
*[Enable Background Audio](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Audio/Conceptual/AudioSessionProgrammingGuide/AudioSessionBasics/AudioSessionBasics.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007875-CH3-SW3) in your Xcode project
Determine whether the media should continue playing when notifications or the Control Center are in front of the video.
***false (default)** - Don't continue playing the media
***true** - Continue playing the media
Platforms: iOS
#### poster
An image to display while the video is loading
<br>Value: string with a URL for the poster, e.g. "https://baconmockup.com/300/200/"
Platforms: all
#### posterResizeMode
Determines how to resize the poster image when the frame doesn't match the raw video dimensions.
***"contain" (default)** - Scale the image uniformly (maintain the image's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or less than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding).
***"center"** - Center the image in the view along both dimensions. If the image is larger than the view, scale it down uniformly so that it is contained in the view.
***"cover"** - Scale the image uniformly (maintain the image's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or larger than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding).
***"none"** - Don't apply resize
***"repeat"** - Repeat the image to cover the frame of the view. The image will keep its size and aspect ratio. (iOS only)
***"stretch"** - Scale width and height independently, This may change the aspect ratio of the src.
Platforms: all
#### progressUpdateInterval
Delay in milliseconds between onProgress events in milliseconds.
Default: 250.0
Platforms: all
### rate
Speed at which the media should play.
***0.0** - Pauses the video
***1.0** - Play at normal speed
***Other values** - Slow down or speed up playback
Platforms: all
Note: For Android MediaPlayer, rate is only supported on Android 6.0 and higher devices.
#### repeat

***false (default)** - Don't repeat the video
***true** - Repeat the video
Platforms: all
#### resizeMode
Determines how to resize the video when the frame doesn't match the raw video dimensions.
***"none" (default)** - Don't apply resize
***"contain"** - Scale the video uniformly (maintain the video's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the video will be equal to or less than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding).
***"cover"** - Scale the video uniformly (maintain the video's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or larger than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding).
***"stretch"** - Scale width and height independently, This may change the aspect ratio of the src.
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, Android MediaPlayer, iOS, Windows UWP
#### selectedTextTrack
Configure which text track (caption or subtitle), if any, is shown.
```
selectedTextTrack={{
type: Type,
value: Value
}}
```
Example:
```
selectedTextTrack={{
type: "title",
value: "English Subtitles"
}}
```
Type | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
"system" (default) | N/A | Display captions only if the system preference for captions is enabled
"disabled" | N/A | Don't display a text track
"title" | string | Display the text track with the title specified as the Value, e.g. "French 1"
"language" | string | Display the text track with the language specified as the Value, e.g. "fr"
"index" | number | Display the text track with the index specified as the value, e.g. 0
Both iOS & Android (only 4.4 and higher) offer Settings to enable Captions for hearing impaired people. If "system" is selected and the Captions Setting is enabled, iOS/Android will look for a caption that matches that customer's language and display it.
If a track matching the specified Type (and Value if appropriate) is unavailable, no text track will be displayed. If multiple tracks match the criteria, the first match will be used.
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer, iOS
#### stereoPan
Adjust the balance of the left and right audio channels. Any value between –1.0 and 1.0 is accepted.
***-1.0** - Full left
***0.0 (default)** - Center
***1.0** - Full right
Platforms: Android MediaPlayer
#### textTracks
Load one or more "sidecar" text tracks. This takes an array of objects representing each track. Each object should have the format:
Property | Description
--- | ---
title | Descriptive name for the track
language | 2 letter [ISO 639-1 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) representing the language
type | Mime type of the track<br>* TextTrackType.SRT - .srt SubRip Subtitle<br> * TextTrackType.TTML - .ttml TTML<br>* TextTrackType.VTT - .vtt WebVTT
uri | URL for the text track. Currently, only tracks hosted on a webserver are supported
Example:
```
import { TextTrackType }, Video from 'react-native-video';
This isn't support on iOS because AVPlayer doesn't support it. Text tracks must be loaded as part of an HLS playlist.
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer
#### useTextureView
Output to a TextureView instead of the default SurfaceView. In general, you will want to use SurfaceView because it is more efficient and provides better performance. However, SurfaceViews has two limitations:
* It can't be animated, transformed or scaled
* You can't overlay multiple SurfaceViews
useTextureView can only be set at same time you're setting the source.
***false (default)** - Use a SurfaceView
***true** - Use a TextureView
Platforms: Android ExoPlayer
#### volume
Adjust the volume.
***1.0 (default)** - Play at full volume
***0.0** - Mute the audio
***Other values** - Reduce volume
Platforms: all
### Event props
#### onLoad
Callback function that is called when the media is loaded and ready to play.
Payload:
Property | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
currentPosition | number | Time in seconds where the media will start
duration | number | Length of the media in seconds
naturalSize | object | Properties:<br>* width - Width in pixels that the video was encoded at<br> * height - Height in pixels that the video was encoded at<br>* orientation - "portrait" or "landscape"
textTracks | array | An array of text track info objects with the following properties:<br>* index - Index number<br> * title - Description of the track<br>* language - 2 letter [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) language code<br> * type - Mime type of track
