ExpoAV Support
jackspiva opened this issue · comments
Hi! I'm wondering if you all are considering adding support for the ExpoAV Video Player at some point?
I am currently building out a video heavy app in React Native and have found React Native Video to have some frustrating bugs. I tried out using the ExpoAV player (my app is not Expo managed, just added it as they describe in the bare workflow) and it has been much more stable for me.
I'd love to be able to use it in place of React Native Video, but also would hate to give up Mux Stats.
Interested in this as well.
Hi @jackspiva -- thanks for surfacing. ExpoAV Video Player would require an entirely new SDK. We'll have to take a look at what that entails and see when we can prioritize building that out.
Following up on this - I was actually able to make this work fine on the Expo platform - unless you have an explicit purpose to use the Video component through Expo AV, you should be fine to use React-Native-Video. One note - I am using the custom dev client through expo, but React-Native-Video didn't require a config plugin in that setup, so I believe you should be ok to use it on the managed workflow.
Curious if this is in the roadmap at all. Expo has become pretty standard for react-native projects now. While I know react-native-video can still be used in expo, expo-av is the goto on expo.
