Why do you use this library?

I'd like to learn more about why people use this library over others. If you have the time, please leave a reaction at https://github.com/cornedor/react-native-video-player/discussions/166

Then, for React Native >= 0.60:

cd ios
pod install

Add the following at the beginning of ./android/app/build.gradle on Android (required for react-native-vector-icons to work):

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

Add the following in your Info.plist file on iOS (required for react-native-vector-icons to work):

<key>UIAppFonts</key>
<array>
    <string>MaterialIcons.ttf</string>
</array>

For React Native < 0.60

react-native link react-native-video
react-native link react-native-vector-icons

Important Note

To avoid Build Error "Could not find com.yqritc:android-scalablevideoview:1.0.4." Add jcenter() to your build.gradle file present at the android folder (add it under allprojects). after the adding the changes, code would look like

For more info please refer to LINK

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
  }
}
