VideoManager

The MediaManager plugin allow to play audio and video with Xamarin. Using this VideoManager, you can create a dedicated view to render a video in your fabulous application.

MediaManager has been created by Martijn van Dijk and its original project can be found on its github repository.

The nuget Fabulous.XamarinForms.VideoManager implements a view component for the type VideoView.

To use Fabulous.XamarinForms.VideoView, you must

1. Add a reference to Plugin.MediaManager and Plugin.MediaManager.Forms across your whole solution. This will add appropriate references to your platform-specific Android and iOS projects too.

2. Next add a reference to Fabulous.XamarinForms.VideoManager across your whole solution.

After these steps you can use VideoView in your view function. Here is a simple example of using VideoView to display a video player of Big Buck Bunny:

open Fabulous.XamarinForms

View.VideoView(
  source = "https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4",
  showControls = false,
  heightRequest = 500.,
  widthRequest = 200.)
