A powerful and easy to use video player
Video layout comes with lots of blocks that are self explanatory and are easy to use within your apps to make custom video players. Video Layout enables you to create a video player in any arrangement. The extensions is fully packed with blocks that make your development process easier. Read the full documentation below.

Media Player Errors
This block is used to create the video player in a specific horizontal or vertical arrangement. You also need to provide path to video. The video can be online or local. You can find info about supported codecs below.
The blocks will play the video. If the video isn’t started yet then it will play the video from start else if the video is paused, it will automatically resume it.
The block will pause the video.
It will stop the video playback and bring the video at it its starting position.
This block will suspend the video player and will remove it from the arrangement. It will release resources associated with this video player object. It is considered good practice to call this method when you’re done using the video player.
Use this block to seek video to specified milliseconds.Remember that 1000 milliseconds equal to 1 second.
Set the playback speed of video. Use a range of values from 0.25 to 2.
Set volume of the video. The extension also provides blocks to get Minimum and Maximum value of volume that the device supports. Use those blocks to create a range of values for to be used by this block.
This block is very useful in creating custom players. It works as a clock. It will trigger OnHandlerGotPosition block. The milliseconds that you pass to this handler block specifies the interval after which the OnHandlerGotPosition block should be triggered. The difference between using a clock and this block is that it works asynchronously without stopping the main thread. So your app works smoother and doesn’t lag.
It will stop the triggering of OnHandlerGotPosition block.
It will mute the volume.
It will unmute the volume.
Get total duration of the video.
Get the current position of the video.
Checks if video is currently playing or not.
Get current buffering percentage value.
Get Minimum volume possible for current device.
Get Maximum volume possible for current device.
Get current volume for media playback for current device.
Returns video path that you had specified.
Use this block to convert milliseconds to text format > hh:mm:ss
Set scale to fit or not. It is recommended to set Scale To Fit to true.
Use this block to enable looping.
