power saving mode

[pietrop]

Do you currently have a way to detect if a user is on power saving mode on iOS? (and therefore autoplay would fail)

I found these

• Detect if ios11 device is in low power mode to prevent bad UX on normally correctly autoplaying video
• Low power mode detection in JavaScript for iOS11?
• https://gist.run/?id=f7b675c7a5bab86dd1488962e646c6cc

But wondering if there is a cleaner solution?

Hey Pietro!

The way we handle autoplay in the library is that we call play() manually and look for an error to be thrown to detect failure. We don't rely on the native autoplay attribute, which I believe is the same for most modern player libraries. We call the onAutoplayFail callback in React and apply the data-autoplay-error attribute to the player element for styling purposes. Some more information available in our API > Autoplay page.
