AudioTrack

Each AudioTrack object has the following keys:

autoSelect: boolean

defaultTrack: boolean

groupId: string

name: string

language: string

A video file can include multiple audio tracks. The onAudioTracks event is fired when the list of available AudioTracks is updated (happens shortly after a playlist item starts playing).

Once the AudioTracks list is available, use getAudioTracks to return an array of available AudioTracks.

Then use getCurrentAudioTrack or setCurrentAudioTrack(index) to view or change the current AudioTrack.

This is all handled automatically if using the default player controls, but these functions are helpful if you're implementing custom controls.

Stretching

uniform: (default) Fits JW Player dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio

exactFit: Will fit JW Player dimensions without maintaining aspect ratio

fill: Will zoom and crop video to fill dimensions, maintaining aspect ratio

none: Displays the actual size of the video file. (Black borders)

Stretching Examples:

Stretching Example

(image from JW Player docs - here use exactFit instead of exactfit)

DRM

Checkout the official DRM docs iOS & Android.

As of now June 7, 2022 there is only support for Fairplay on iOS and Widevine for Android.

In short when passing a protected file URL in the file prop you will also need to pass additional props for the player to be able to decode your encrypted content; per each respective platform.

  • iOS - your processSpcUrl?: string (License) and fairplayCertUrl?: string (Certificate) on the config prop. We will try to parse the contentUUID from the FPS server playback context (SPC), but you can override it by passing it in config along the other two props;
  • Android - your authUrl?: string on each PlaylistItem in the playlist prop;

Checkout the DRMExample in the Example app. (The DRMExample cannot be run in the Simulator).

Advertising

Important

When using an IMA ad client you need to do some additional setup.

  • iOS: Add $RNJWPlayerUseGoogleIMA = true to your Podfile, this will add GoogleAds-IMA-iOS-SDK pod.

  • Android: Add RNJWPlayerUseGoogleIMA = true in your app/build.gradle ext {} this will add 'com.google.ads.interactivemedia.v3:interactivemedia:3.29.0' and 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1'.

Prop Description Type Availability
adVmap The URL of the ads VMAP XML. String All Clients (iOS only)
adSchedule Array of tags and offsets for ads. {tag: String, offset: String}[] All Clients
openBrowserOnAdClick Should the player open the browser when clicking on an ad. Boolean All Clients
adClient The ad client. One of vast, ima, or ima_dai, check out JWPlayerAdClients, defaults to vast. 'vast', 'ima', 'ima_dai' All Clients
adRules Ad rules for VAST client. {startOn: Number, frequency: Number, timeBetweenAds: Number, startOnSeek: 'none' | 'pre'} VAST only
imaSettings Settings specific to Google IMA SDK. {locale: String, ppid: String, maxRedirects: Number, sessionID: String, debugMode: Boolean} IMA and IMA DAI

AudioSessions iOS

Check out the official apple docs for more information on AVAudioSessions. Below is a summarized description of each value.

AudioSessionCategory

Available on iOS

Prop Description
Ambient Use this category for background sounds such as rain, car engine noise, etc. Mixes with other music.
SoloAmbient Use this category for background sounds. Other music will stop playing.
Playback Use this category for music tracks.
Record Use this category when recording audio.
PlayAndRecord Use this category when recording and playing back audio.
MultiRoute Use this category when recording and playing back audio.
AudioSessionCategoryOptions

Available on iOS

Prop Description
MixWithOthers Controls whether other active audio apps will be interrupted or mixed with when your app's audio session goes active. Details depend on the category.
DuckOthers Controls whether or not other active audio apps will be ducked when when your app's audio session goes active. An example of this is a workout app, which provides periodic updates to the user. It reduces the volume of any music currently being played while it provides its status.
AllowBluetooth Allows an application to change the default behavior of some audio session categories with regard to whether Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) devices are available for routing. The exact behavior depends on the category.
DefaultToSpeaker Allows an application to change the default behavior of some audio session categories with regard to the audio route. The exact behavior depends on the category.
InterruptSpokenAudioAndMix When a session with InterruptSpokenAudioAndMixWithOthers set goes active, then if there is another playing app whose session mode is AVAudioSessionModeSpokenAudio (for podcast playback in the background, for example), then the spoken-audio session will be interrupted. A good use of this is for a navigation app that provides prompts to its user: it pauses any spoken audio currently being played while it plays the prompt.
AllowBluetoothA2DP Allows an application to change the default behavior of some audio session categories with regard to whether Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) devices are available for routing. The exact behavior depends on the category.
AllowAirPlay Allows an application to change the default behavior of some audio session categories with regard to showing AirPlay devices as available routes. This option applies to various categories in the same way as AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetoothA2DP; see above for details.
OverrideMutedMicrophone Some devices include a privacy feature that mutes the built-in microphone at a hardware level under certain conditions e.g. when the Smart Folio of an iPad is closed. The default behavior is to interrupt the session using the built-in microphone when that microphone is muted in hardware. This option allows an application to opt out of the default behavior if it is using a category that supports both input and output, such as AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord, and wants to allow its session to stay activated even when the microphone has been muted. The result would be that playback continues as normal, and microphone sample buffers would continue to be produced but all microphone samples would have a value of zero.
AudioSessionMode

Available on iOS

Prop Description
Default The default mode.
VoiceChat Only valid with AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord. Appropriate for Voice over IP (VoIP) applications. Reduces the number of allowable audio routes to be only those that are appropriate for VoIP applications and may engage appropriate system-supplied signal processing. Has the side effect of setting AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetooth.
VideoChat Only valid with kAudioSessionCategory_PlayAndRecord. Reduces the number of allowable audio routes to be only those that are appropriate for video chat applications. May engage appropriate system-supplied signal processing. Has the side effect of setting AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionAllowBluetooth and AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionDefaultToSpeaker.
GameChat Set by Game Kit on behalf of an application that uses a GKVoiceChat object; valid only with the AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord category. Do not set this mode directly. If you need similar behavior and are not using a GKVoiceChat object, use AVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat instead.
VideoRecording Only valid with AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord or AVAudioSessionCategoryRecord Modifies the audio routing options and may engage appropriate system-supplied signal processing.
Measurement Appropriate for applications that wish to minimize the effect of system-supplied signal processing for input and/or output audio signals.
MoviePlayback Engages appropriate output signal processing for movie playback scenarios. Currently only applied during playback over built-in speaker.
SpokenAudio Appropriate for applications which play spoken audio and wish to be paused (via audio session interruption) rather than ducked if another app (such as a navigation app) plays a spoken audio prompt. Examples of apps that would use this are podcast players and audio books. For more information, see the related category option AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionInterruptSpokenAudioAndMixWithOthers.
VoicePrompt Appropriate for applications which play spoken audio and wish to be paused (via audio session interruption) rather than ducked if another app (such as a navigation app) plays a spoken audio prompt. Examples of apps that would use this are podcast players and audio books. For more information, see the related category option AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionInterruptSpokenAudioAndMixWithOthers.
Picture-in-picture

Picture in picture mode is enabled by JW on iOS for the PlayerViewController, however when setting the viewOnly prop to true you will also need to set the pipEnabled prop to true, and call the togglePIP method to enable / disable PIP. For Android you will have to add the following code in your MainActivity.java

@Override
public void onPictureInPictureModeChanged(boolean isInPictureInPictureMode, Configuration newConfig) {
  super.onPictureInPictureModeChanged(isInPictureInPictureMode, newConfig);

  Intent intent = new Intent("onPictureInPictureModeChanged");
  intent.putExtra("isInPictureInPictureMode", isInPictureInPictureMode);
  intent.putExtra("newConfig", newConfig);
  this.sendBroadcast(intent);

Background Audio

This package supports Background audio sessions by setting the backgroundAudioEnabled prop on the PlaylistItem, just follow the JWPlayer docs for background session.

Here for Android https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/android-audiotrack#background-audio although this package handles background audio playing in android as is and you shouldn't have to make any additional changes.

Here for iOS https://developer.jwplayer.com/jwplayer/docs/ios-behavior#background-audio under Background Audio section.

For iOS you will have to enable audio in Signing & Capabilities under background modes.

Casting

JWPlayer enables casting by default with a casting button (if you pass the viewOnly prop in the player config on iOS then you will need to enable casting by yourself).

iOS

1: Follow the instruction here on the official JWPlayer site.

2: Add $RNJWPlayerUseGoogleCast = true to your Podfile, this will install google-cast-sdk pod.

3: Edit your Info.plist with the following values:

'NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription' => 'We will use your Bluetooth for media casting.',
'NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription' => 'We will use your Bluetooth for media casting.',
'NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription' => 'We will use the local network to discover Cast-enabled devices on your WiFi network.',
'Privacy - Local Network Usage Description' => 'We will use the local network to discover Cast-enabled devices on your WiFi network.'
'NSMicrophoneUsageDescription' => 'We will use your Microphone for media casting.'

4: Enable Access WiFi Information capability under Signing & Capabilities

Android
  1. Add RNJWPlayerUseGoogleCast = true to your app/build.gradle in ext {}.
  2. Add com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework:21.3.0 to your Android app/build.gradle
  3. Create a class that overrides OptionsProvider in your Android codebase
    1. See reference file android/src/main/java/com/appgoalz/rnjwplayer/CastOptionsProvider.java
    2. Replace .setTargetActivityClassName(RNJWPlayerView.class.getName()) with your player Activity
    3. Modify the file with any options necessary for your use case
  4. Add the meta-data to your AndroidManifest.xml like below, ensuring
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.cast.framework.OPTIONS_PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME"
        android:value="path.to.CastOptionsProvider" />
  1. Casting should now be enabled
