I don't think urls with ~ are supported ...

[gyhyfj]

@freeboub I found that remove bufferConfig can solve this problem

[gyhyfj]

I don't think urls with ~ are supported ...

It's still available NodeRequire, transformed by babel. However I think it's wired to pass it to uri since v6, which is different from Image componet

[freeboub]

@gyhyfj It looks like the issue is the following: we try to cache a local file playback, it doesn't make sense, but I agree this configuration should work in the package. My remark was about the file path starting with ~, but if it works without bufferingConfig, it is a valid workaround

[freeboub]

I don't reproduce the issue with the sample app ... Did you try to put a path without '~' inside, and with a relative path to your project ? The error is : "Malformed URL" I really suspect an issue with your path which may not be correctly translated.

If it still not working, can you please share a sample which reproduce the issue ?

[freeboub]

any update ?

I replace ~ path with relative path, after build, it still throw the same error

[freeboub]

Can you try without cacheSize property ?

[gyhyfj]

Can you try without cacheSize property ?

It works well without cahceSize property. But the default cacheSize is 0.

I don't think urls with ~ are supported ...

Also if I use source={require()} rather than source={{uri: require()}}, it throw that same error
