I tried this #1747 (comment) and then it threw unrecognised media format error. And then I used usesCleartextTraffic to make it work. Finally got it working.

usesCleartextTraffic as a prop to the react-native-video component?

No. Sorry for being blunt. That was supposed to go into AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag

Like this android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

I added this to the file:

dependencies: {
     'react-native-video': {
       platforms: {
         android: {
           sourceDir: './node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer',
         },
       },
     },
   },

I solved it by modifying my settings.gradle as mentioned in the setup guide (Android installation):

include ‘:react-native-video’ project(‘:react-native-video’).projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, ‘…/node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer’)

I didn’t modify any other files.

“react-native”: “0.63.3” “react-native-video”: “^5.1.0-alpha8”

I added this to the file:

dependencies: {
     'react-native-video': {
       platforms: {
         android: {
           sourceDir: './node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer',
         },
       },
     },
   },

Thanks! But still its not working for me.

@rananajam1 @Darkiring I researched it a bit. These are the error codes from the Android Media player. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener

MEDIA_ERROR_SYSTEM (-2147483648) - low-level system error.

Same issue

I added this to the file:

dependencies: {
     'react-native-video': {
       platforms: {
         android: {
           sourceDir: './node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer',
         },
       },
     },
   },

This worked for me ❤️

dependencies need add to the “react-native.config.js”, not the “metro.config.js”
