mediaParserController()

warning

We are phasing out Media Parser and are moving to Mediabunny!

Pass mediaParserController() to controller to steer the parseMedia() function.

Each mediaParserController can only be attached to 1 parseMedia() call.

Use mediaParserController()
tsx
import {mediaParserController, parseMedia} from '@remotion/media-parser';
 
const controller = mediaParserController();
 
parseMedia({
  src: 'https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4',
  controller,
});
 
// Pause
controller.pause();
 
// Resume
controller.resume();
 
// Abort
controller.abort();

API​

This function returns an object that can be passed to parseMedia({controller}).

It has the following methods:

pause()​

Pauses the download and parsing process.

resume()​

Resumes the download and parsing process.

abort()​

Aborts the download and parsing process.

seek(timeInSeconds: number)​

Seeks to the best keyframe that comes before the time you specified.

getSeekingHints()​

Returns a promise that resolves to the seeking hints.

addEventListener()​

removeEventListener()​

Events​

You can attach event listeners to the object returned by mediaParserController().

Use events
tsx
import {mediaParserController, parseMedia} from '@remotion/media-parser';
 
const controller = mediaParserController();
 
const onPause = () => {
  console.log('Paused');
};
 
const onResume = () => {
  console.log('Resumed');
};
 
controller.addEventListener('pause', onPause);
controller.addEventListener('resume', onResume);
 
// Make sure to cleanup later:
controller.removeEventListener('pause', onPause);
controller.removeEventListener('resume', onResume);

It also emits the following events:

pause​

Emitted when the download and parsing process is paused.

resume​

Emitted when the download and parsing process is resumed.
