A modern React media player with the details users actually feel.
Ship a video and audio player that looks premium, loads only when needed, and includes playlist timelines, preview snippets, captions, waveform audio, poster generation, and safer autoplay out of the box.
Install in seconds
npm install react-video-audio-playerBuilt to feel complete, not just functional.
The strongest sell here is the product quality: richer media workflows, fewer edge cases, and controls that behave the way users expect.
Why teams pick it
Feature depth that makes the page worth landing on.
These are the parts that differentiate the package from a basic media wrapper: real playlist handling, preview support, waveform audio, lazy loading, and controls you can actually tune.
Playlist-aware playback
Chain multiple clips into one timeline with aggregated duration, seek mapping, and seamless auto-advance.
Preview clips
Show clip-only or random previews with loop support for samples, teasers, and gated playback.
Subtitle and track support
Load subtitles or captions, switch tracks, and keep text tracks in sync with the active media.
Poster generation
Generate a poster frame from any point in the video to make embeds and demos feel polished.
Waveform audio with fallback
Use WaveSurfer.js for a rich waveform, with peak loading and a plain audio fallback for reliability.
Safer autoplay and lazy loading
Delay loading until visible and block oversized autoplay so media stays predictable in production.
Video player built for real apps
Multiple sources, playback rate, fullscreen, picture-in-picture, download hooks, keyboard shortcuts, and custom control exclusions.
Audio player with waveform polish
Volume, mute, speed, seek, downloads, progress callbacks, and a graceful fallback when waveform rendering is unavailable.
Highly configurable controls
Hide or keep only the controls you want, then tune accent color, sizing, poster timing, and preview behavior.
Lazy loading that feels instant
Media loads when the player enters view, keeping landing pages fast without sacrificing an interactive demo.
Live demo
The product sells itself once the controls are visible.
