react-native-video: AVFoundationErrorDomain code: -11800 with https on iOS

Current behavior

On iOS the video does not play, the onBuffer function is called once with this data: {isBuffering: false, target: 969} And then the onError function is called with this data: {error:code: -11800, domain: "AVFoundationErrorDomain"}, target: 969}

The video is played successfully on Android.

Reproduction steps

Create a new react native project
Install and link (manually because cocoapods created issues in my project) the library
Try to play Big buck bunny:

<Video
  source={{
    uri: 'https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4',
  }}
  onBuffer={onBuffer}
  onError={onError}
  style={{ width: constants.screenWidth, height: constants.screenWidth * 0.55 }}
/>

Expected behavior

The video would play

I’m seeing this problem intermittently. I had some luck adding the type: "mp4" to the source prop of the video tag, but that was a red herring, it seems. This problem is back for me in version 5.0.2, after playing just fine for quite a while.

Doing some digging in the issues here, I found several related items:

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/275 (http vs. https issue suggested) https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1886 (encoding issue suggested) https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1940 (no cause suggested) https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/2044 (no suggestions)

This seems to be a prevalent and continuing issue. Why is this closed?

I have the error only on my iPhone simulator, but not on real device… react-native-video@5.0.2

when I used https URLs instead of http URL then it worked

lots of requests from the same issue, no solutions yet. its time to move on to a better lib where at least we have some response from creators.

@yernandus Hi, I’ve got exactly the same issue, for local downloaded file. Did you solved this somehow?
