allprojects {
    repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}
  • Add the dependency
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.imherrera:compose-video-player:0.1.0-alpha'
}

Basic Usage

The basic usage is as follows:

val playerState = rememberVideoPlayerState()

VideoPlayer(playerState = playerState) {
    VideoPlayerControl(
        state = playerState,
        title = "Elephant Dream",
    )
}

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    playerState.player.setMediaItem(MediaItem.fromUri("http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/ElephantsDream.mp4"))
    playerState.player.prepare()
    playerState.player.playWhenReady = true
}
