Was this problem ever solved? I am trying to return the seek to 0 after the video is done playing (onEnd), using this.player.seek(0) but I get undefined is not an object (evaluating _this.player.seek)

Trying to implement Forward/Backword for 10 seconds. videoPlayer?.current.seek(seek)

sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn’t work.

You need to call seek on the ref

<Video ref="someVideo" {...otherProps} />

later…

this.refs.someVideo.seek(someTime)

Let me know if this fixes your issue!
