Controls not displaying with new @theoplayer/react-native-ui package

[davidwinograd1]

Hello! This is my code below. The controls on my player are not displaying. I have been using THEOplayer with the regular UI package for a while now and it has always worked. Now, it has stopped with the new package. Does anyone know why?

"react-native": "0.71.5", "@theoplayer/react-native-ui": "^0.2.0", "react-native-theoplayer": "^2.9.0", "react-native-svg": "^13.10.0", "@react-native-community/slider": "^4.4.2",

Hi, can you verify the value of 'chromeless'? It depends on the playerconfig const chromeless = playerConfig?.chromeless ?? false; which is defined later.

Suggested fix was confirmed.
