useMediaControls

Reactive media controls for both audio and video elements

Usage

Basic Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useMediaControls } from '@vueuse/core'

const video = ref()
const { playing, currentTime, duration } = useMediaControls(video, { 
  src: 'video.mp4',
})
</script>

<template>
  <video ref="video" />
  <button @click="playing = !playing">Play / Pause</button>
  <span>{{ currentTime }} / {{ duration }}</span>
</template>

Proving Captions, Subtitles, etc...

You can provide captions, subtitles, etc in the tracks options of the useMediaControlsfunction. The function will return an array of tracks along with two functions for controlling them, enableTrack, disableTrack, and selectedTrack. Using these you can manage the currently selected track. selectedTrack will be -1 if there is no selected track.

<script setup lang="ts">
const { tracks, enableTrack } = useMediaControls(video, { 
  src: 'video.mp4',
  tracks: [
    {
      default: true,
      src: './subtitles.vtt',
      kind: 'subtitles',
      label: 'English',
      srcLang: 'en',
    },
  ]
})
</script>

<template>
  <video ref="video" />
  <button v-for="track in tacks" :key="track.id" @click="enableTrack(track)">
    {{ track.label }}
  </button>
</template>
