The video scrubber allows you to seek through a video that is loaded locally.
Features
- Plays videos
- Generates frames for video scrub bar asynchronously
- Shows timestamp during playback
- Smooth video scrubbing
Extras
- Playhead bounces on scroll past the video start/end
- Supports dark mode
Known Issues
- Scrubbing to end and playing does not restart video on first play (playing to end does)
- Does not support landscape (contentOffset or safeArea issue)
- Loading a large video will result in a large amount of frames being generated with the 5 second per frame requirement – ideally this should be capped similar to how Apple limits frames
