Is there plans for Chromecast support on android?

Does this library support background playback for audio?

Gettings errors for android:
ERROR: Failed to resolve: com.longtailvideo.jwplayer:jwplayer-core:+
ERROR: Failed to resolve: com.longtailvideo.jwplayer:jwplayer-common:+

I added:
maven {
url 'https://mvn.jwplayer.com/content/repositories/releases/'
}

In projects .gradle file. Still nothing. How to fix this?

Executing the example project gives an error in iOS:

Ordered comparison between pointer and zero ('NSNumber *' and 'int')
In line 32 of file RCJavaScriptLoader.mm

Android is not working too...

TypeError: Cannot read property 'message' of undefined
at handleError (/Users/.../Documents/Demos/react-native-jw-media-player-master/Example/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cliEntry.js:35:21)

Hey there! It looks like playlist.stereomode isn't included in the playlist/playlist item props so that one can "look around" whilst viewing a 360 video.

Please, could this support be added for this?

When the media player is in full screen and React Native deep-linking navigation occurs, the fullscreen video is not removed from the view and the controls go missing.

I am implementing JWPlayer on my RN app.
It's working well but unfortunately, seems it is not supported for chromecast.

If someone knows that, I am appreciate.

Thanks

Hello, I don't see any easy way to see what's changed between versions. Can you let me know if I've missed that somewhere? Otherwise I do recommend keeping a CHANGELOG.md or tagging your releases on Github w/ accompanying documentation. Appreciate your work!

#import "React/RCTViewManager.h" not found

I am getting this weird error. Please help

Requesting few more callbacks:
onComplete - when media has reached the ending.
onSeek - when seek was requested from default controls.

Isn't onIdle the same as my requested onComplete? If so it does not work android.

Also onTime callback does not return described parameters (checked android).

Please tell me if there is support for video ads? If so, can you show some code examples?

Currently, background audio for android is hardcoded as in this code.

I tried hardcoding it as:

mPlayer.setBackgroundAudio(false);

But it is not working. Let's investigate whether it is JWPlayer's SDK fault or there is something more to be added for this package

JW player provides casting in the native library. But I don't see any method to access it. Please help.

onSeek & onSeeked event callbacks on iOS is not working. Would love to implement it myself but at this moment my objective c skills are not enough :/

I made a playlist with playlistItems and in iOS worked, Android don't.
Am i missing something? Or it's a feature to add in the feature?

I have the latest version installed and I am receiving the following error on Android. Seems to be related to casting.

Hi there, I couldn't find any documentation about closed captioning support.
Does the mediaId property allow the player to read the captions available?

Any assistance on this topic would be appreciated, thank you.

Platform: Android

When user navigates back from video screen. It keeps playing in background. Also when another video opens during that time app crashes. I also tried unmounting view video is still playing...

Hi. Is there any way we could control the volume or mute?

Thanks

I received some reports that audio stops on iOS 14 version when app is in background

Hi @chaimPaneth ,
I have a url with extension .m3u8 (no video, it is black screen), and i want display image by 'image' prop in playListItem when my video url black screen. Android done, but iOS not working...
Can you tell me how to do it? :((
Thank you!

Hi @chaimPaneth , it seems that using the adVmap prop as described in the docs does not work neither on iOS nor Android. The vmap url is passed into native code but it seems the player is ignoring it for some reason. It works in the iOS demo app provided by JW Player.

Here's some example code (taken from the example):

<JWPlayer
              style={styles.player}
              playlistItem={{
                mediaId: "1",
                file: "http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/3XnJSIm4-injeKYZS.mp4",
                autostart: false,
                adVmap: "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adtags/vmap2.xml"
              }}
              onBeforePlay={() => this.onBeforePlay()}
              onPlay={() => this.onPlay()}
              onSetupPlayerError={(e) => this.onSetupPlayerError(e)}
              onPlayerError={(e) => this.onPlayerError(e)}
              onBuffer={() => this.onBuffer()}
              onTime={(time) => this.onTime(time)}
              nativeFullScreen={true}
              onFullScreen={() => this.onFullScreen()}
              onFullScreenExit={() => this.onFullScreenExit()}
            />

If you could point me to what the problem might be, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi after upgrading to a newest version 0.1.49 and adding everything required by casting I receive this email from apple:
...The app's Info.plist file should contain a NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key with a user-facing purpose string...
Should this be mentioned in readme ?
And why does it need a microphone usage?

Hi.
When I run the example on the Android, I get the following error:

@chaimPaneth before starting, thanks a lot for your library! We are currently using it in our team, and your work helped us a lot!

Since we are using Typescript, we added a basic typescript definition in our project but I've figured that I could spend more time to make it exhaustive and open a PR here. Are you encline to have and maintain typescript definition in this repo ? As I said I can open a PR to add typescript definitions for the current API.

Cheers!

Hii, I am not able to run my project in xcode.

error: Build input file cannot be found: '/Users/user/WorkSpace/git/slp/node_modules/react-native-jw-media-player/ios/CustomJWPlaylistItem.m' (in target 'RNJWPlayer' from project 'RNJWPlayer')

Seems like CustomJWPlaylistItem.m file is missing. I have tried to run pod install. Link and relink the library multiple times but it didn't work.

When clicking on the fullscreen button, the app changes orientation but does not take over the display. It appears that the player goes into fullscreen of the container that it is in, rather than taking over the screen.

We invoke the player using
const playlistItem = { file: 'sample.com', mediaId: 'sample', autostart: false }

            <JWPlayer
                playlistItem={playlistItem}

I think this is the same issue:
TheWidlarzGroup/react-native-video#1319

Look absolutely the same.
Is it fixible?

JWPlayer Android SDK 3.16.0 Release Notes:
Updated the Google IMA to support version 3.18.1.

This has caused some sort of incompatibility between google packages. It wasn't able to find androidx.media.session.

Downgrading to 3.15.1 fixed the issue.

Detail

I tried adding css file on the android assets folder, but it has no effect. I see the implementation is looking up to the String.format(file:///android_asset/%s.css, name). To no effect.

Further Research

I did some research and it said that JWPlayer has no support for local css file,

[1] https://jwplayer-support-archive.netlify.com/questions/17033726-player-config-cssskin-local-file

[2] jwplayer/jwplayer#2722

I tried remove button rewind 10 seconds by change skin JWP but look like prop playerStyle doesn't work, or native not receive css file. 😭

Latest version used
0.1.40

On android going into full screen mode video is black screen. Audio still playing normally. After seeking into other time or pressing settings & back video is shown again. Sometimes same thing replicated on going back out of full screen.

EDIT: play/pause also helps

Hi @chaimPaneth, I am trying to implement VMAP ads on JWPlayer by adding adSchedule on playlistItem. But I always get the result that the ad's video does not play and also there is always a loading indicator run forever while the original video won't play. I need your help. Thank you.

This is an example of my playlist item

const playlistItem = {
    mediaID: "ykJZQsJn",
    time: 0,
    file: "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ykJZQsJn.m3u8",
    controls: true,
    repeat: false,
    adSchedule: [
      {
        tag:
          'https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?slotname=/124319096/external/ad_rule_samples&sz=640x480&ciu_szs=300x250&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite%26sample_ar%3Dpremidpost&url=https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/tags&unviewed_position_start=1&output=xml_vast3&impl=s&env=vp&gdfp_req=1&ad_rule=0&vad_type=linear&vpos=preroll&pod=1&ppos=1&lip=true&min_ad_duration=0&max_ad_duration=30000&vrid=6256&video_doc_id=short_onecue&cmsid=496&kfa=0&tfcd=0',
        offset: 'pre',
      },
    ],

That case only happens on Android but fine on iOS. 🙏

console.log(JWPlayer);
}

controls={true}
onPlayerError={e => this.onPlayerError(e)}
onBuffer={() => this.onBuffer()}

/>

);
}
}

Does this package work with react-native >= 0.60?

We are using background audio on a page which has multiple videos.
When we play a video, we are able to see the background audio control in the notification center(NC) but when we click pause from the NC, it controls the last video on the page(not the video being played).

On latest version on Android callback onFullScreenExit is not called.
When exiting fullscreen onFullScreen is called instead onFullScreenExit

When rendering multiple videos on a single page, the iOS app crashes.
