// quasar.conf.js

return {
  framework: {
    plugins: [
      'AppFullscreen'
    ]
  }
}

iOS

If you want to use the playsinline property with iOS, you will need to add the following to the config.xml for your iOS build:

<preference name="AllowInlineMediaPlayback" value="true" />

Direct Access

If you find you have a need access to the underlying media player, you can set up a ref on QMediaPlayer and access $media directly, even capturing and handling your own events.

  <q-media-player
    ref="myPlayer"
    ...
  />

then

// in code some where
this.$refs.myPlayer.$media

// examples to call native functions directly:
// this.$refs.myPlayer.$media.pause()
// this.$refs.myPlayer.$media.play()

// or via QMediaPlayer
// this.$refs.myPlayer.pause()
// this.$refs.myPlayer.play()
