Introduction

vnetwork-player is a React component built to make video playback seamless in web applications. Whether you're creating a streaming service, an educational platform with video lessons, or just need to embed videos in your project, this library simplifies the process. It supports popular video formats such as m3u8 for streaming and mp4 for standard videos, making it a versatile tool for developers aiming to improve user experiences through multimedia.

Beyond its ease of use, vnetwork-player offers customization options to adapt the player’s look and behavior to your application’s needs.

Here’s what makes vnetwork-player stand out:

  • Supports m3u8 and mp4 formats: Play streaming videos (m3u8) or local files (mp4) effortlessly.
  • Multiple video sources: Configure single or multiple sources for optimal playback across devices.
  • Subtitle support: Enhance accessibility with subtitles in multiple languages (e.g., English, French).
  • Customizable interface: Adjust the player’s colors (e.g., #ff0000) to align with your app’s design.
  • Autoplay functionality: Enable videos to start automatically for a smooth user experience.
  • React-friendly integration: Leverage custom refs with React’s useRef hook for dynamic control.

These features transform vnetwork-player into a robust solution for boosting engagement in your React projects.
