expo-gl video support

Dawid Dereszewski

many apps are now operating with videos. We would like to benefit from GL acceleration and be able to apply filters on the video in react native like it's possible on the web.

What are the updates on this? We'd love to apply filters on videos without processing it through ffmpeg first.

Need this for react-native-video support to apply video filters

we also need this feature to render video texture on a sphere to create a 360 video player.

What interests you is to be able to use a video as a texture? Dawid Dereszewski

Bastien Robert: Apply on the fly filters for the videos. Currently to do so on mobile we must download video and process with mobile ffmpeg to apply change. That's resource and time consuming.

What we want to achieve is to play any video stream in GL context instead of video tag so that we can apply filters on top of it

Bastien Robert: Need this as well, we're currently using https://www.npmjs.com/package/gl-react-native which i'm told using expoGL under the hood. we use react-native-video as the video tho and the texture i think is not displaying.

Daniel S: yup, cf. https://github.com/gre/gl-react/issues/215
