API Reference

Props

Accepts the standard React props for a native <video>, plus these Video.js-specific props:

PropTypeDefaultDetails
sourceobjectnull
srcstring''

Refs

ref

Forwards to the rendered <video>, an HTMLVideoElement with its complete native property and method API.

const ref = useRef<HTMLVideoElement>(null);

<DashVideo ref={ref} />

mediaRef

Receives the same HTMLVideoElement as ref. Embed components hand their playback adapter to mediaRef instead, so code that works with several media components can read the playback object from one prop. 

const mediaRef = useRef<HTMLVideoElement>(null);

<DashVideo mediaRef={mediaRef} />

Events

Handle standard media events with React event props such as onPlay and onTimeUpdate. For native events without a React prop, attach a listener through the ref with addEventListener.
