How to implement audio and video playback in NativeScript?

To implement audio and video playback in NativeScript, you can utilize the nativescript-audio and nativescript-video-player plugins. These plugins provide a straightforward API for playing audio and video files respectively.

For audio playback, the nativescript-audio plugin allows you to load and play audio files with ease. Here's a basic example:

const audioModule = require("@nativescript/core/audio").Audio;
const player = new audioModule.Player();
player.src = "path/to/your/audio/file.mp3";
player.play();

This code snippet initializes a new audio player, sets the source to an MP3 file, and starts playing it.

For video playback, the nativescript-video-player plugin is recommended. It supports both local and streaming videos. Here's how you can use it:

const VideoPlayer = require("@nativescript/video-player").VideoPlayer;
const videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer();
videoPlayer.src = "path/to/your/video/file.mp4";
videoPlayer.play();

This code initializes a video player, sets the source to an MP4 file, and begins playback.

When deploying your application on a cloud platform like Tencent Cloud, you might want to leverage services like Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS) for storing your media files. This allows for scalable and reliable storage solutions, enabling you to easily manage and serve your audio and video content to users globally.

Remember to handle permissions and licensing appropriately, especially when dealing with copyrighted material.
