Ionic 4 VideoPlayer error

I’m trying to use the ionic video player in an ionic 4 app but i get an error of TypeError: Object(…) is not a function and its pointing to the Video player. With further investigation when i installed the ionic-native/video-player. i get npm warnings of:

@ionic-native/video-player@4.15.0 requires a peer of @ionic-native/core@^4.11.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
@ionic-native/video-player@4.15.0 requires a peer of rxjs@^5.5.11 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

so i changed the fields its stating but it broke my app and it wont run. Any idea on how i can get this working?

i am also facing same issue…!

you don’t need a plug in to play videos in ionic. instead use html 5 video

example: any = {
video: “assets/folder/water.mp4”
};

<source [src]=“example.video” type=“video/mp4”>

how can I implement videogular plugin in ionic 4? with play pause rewind and forward,

Any help will be appretiated

thankyou
