Similar to ImageView, this class allows you to display a video.

To use this component, install the Zebble.VideoPlayer nuget package. 
It's open source and available on GitHub. Also we welcome any contributions to enhace it.

Markup examples

<VideoPlayer Path="Video/MylocalFile.mp4"/><VideoPlayer Path="Video/MylocalFile.mp4" AutoPlay="true"/>

Examples in C#:

this.Add(new VideoPlayer { Path = "Video/MylocalFile.mp4" });

this.Add(new VideoPlayer { Path = "http://www.something.com/my-file.mp4", AutoPlay = true });

iOS Config:

If you want to play a video in iOS from an Url you need to disable Transport security for that website:

If your app needs to load and display web content from non-secure sites, add the following to your app's Info.plist file to allow web pages to load correctly while Apple Transport Security (ATS) protection is still enabled for the rest of the app:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key> NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

Optionally, you can make the following changes to your app's Info.plist file to completely disable ATS for all domains and internet communication:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
