this is resolved with expo@45.0.2 - thank you for the report!

I’m experiencing the exact same issue. It’s like the component don’t get mounted at all, since the the video doesn’t even start loading. It’s even more confusing as I know that @hirbod makes really extensive use of expo-av and it seems to work perfectly for him.

Android works perfectly.

I found that all props of video component are not working, not just source prop, it should be a generic problem.

@mephisto83 - sdk 45.0.0 uses expo@^45.0.0. the expo package version != sdk version. open your package.json and change the “expo” version to ^45.0.2

brentvatne on May 12, 2022

Okay, I managed to reproduce it. Repro here:

https://github.com/fobos531/expoav-repro

What I did is: take @hirbod’s we.tl/t-wiy7HZrdbG repro. Execute:

expo install expo-dev-client

Add import 'expo-dev-client' to App.js. No other changes have been made to the code. Created a developmentClient build using EAS. Tried running the code in the dev client. Same issue as described here in this thread.

I don’t know if it’s device specific or something else - the phone I’m testing on is a physical iPhone 12.

Looks like that I totally forgot that I was also fighting with a regression, lol https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/17036#issuecomment-1113206489

See my comment 10 days ago. My findings have been that I could not load a video without calling loadAsync. @bbarthec @Pickleboyonline @barthap did we messed up something?

The reason why this slipped through for me was, that I am loading my videos imperatively and not declaratively (only one spot used to load it via source prop, which did indeed trigger a regression for me, but I did not investigate this further)

So a workaround for all of you folks right now is to use loadAsync until loading via prop is fixed.

hirbod on May 9, 2022

Ok, some more findings

  useEffect(() => {
    video.current.loadAsync({
      uri: "https://d23dyxeqlo5psv.cloudfront.net/big_buck_bunny.mp4",
    });
  }, []);

Does load the video. So we have an issue with the initial via source prop. It does not matter if the app is using JSC/Hermes. Both fail

I can reproduce this in bare React Native app as well (RN 0.68.2).

radko93 on May 9, 2022

Had the exactly the same issues as well on iOS with expo-av@11.2.3 /w SDK 45 and Hermes, android works fine.

Edit: I am using expo-dev-client, bare workflow as well

I think SDK45 support for snack is coming soon.
