Rox.Xamarin.Video 1.0.0

View videos in Xamarin Forms with the VideoView control. Supports Android, iOS, and UWP only.

The VideoView control in its simplest form can be used with the built-in controller. The VideoView control can also be bound to your own custom controller. It is not currently recommended that both the built-in controller and a custom controller are used at the same time.

The VideoView control is now ready to be used with ShowController set to True and a valid URI VideoSource. The external bindings are ready for UWP only.

----------------
XAML Usage:
----------------

xmlns:roxv="clr-namespace:Rox;assembly=Rox.Xamarin.Video.Portable"

<roxv:VideoView AutoPlay="True" LoopPlay="True" ShowController="True" VideoSource="http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4" />

----------------
In your iOS project "AppDelegate" code file, you must call "Rox.VideoIos.Init()" before "Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init()". It should look something like:
----------------

Rox.VideoIos.Init();

global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();

LoadApplication(new MyVideoApplication());

----------------

The VideoView has the following methods:
- Task Start(); (Start playing the video)
- Task Pause(); (Pause and Resume playing of video)
- Task Stop(); (Stop playing the video)

The VideoView has the following bindable properties:
- bool AutoPlay { get; set; } (Automatically starts playing the video, when video has finished loading)
- bool LoopPlay { get; set; } (Start playing the video again from the start, once it has finished)
- bool Muted { get; set; } (Mutes the volume)
- bool ShowController { get; set; } (Determines if the built-in controller is visible)
- VideoStateType VideoState { get; } (Empty, Error, Buffering, Playing, Paused, Stopped)
- string VideoSource { get; set; } (Must be a valid URI)
- double Volume { get; set; } (The sound level of the audio, from 0 to 1)
