react-native-video: Video stops playing when streamed from remote server

Hello,

I’m loading an mp4 from a remote server using the uri: syntax and the video with stop playing after about ~50%. The same video plays in it’s entirety if loaded locally using the require syntax.

I’m using the latest version or react-native and the latest version of react-native-video. I am building an app for android only.

The video is 13mb in size.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks

I’ve come across this error also, the error is consistent but happens at different points during the video’s duration. onError is called twice and returns:

{
  error: {
    extra:-1004,
    what:1
  }
}

A quick google search suggests that it’s an error in Android’s MediaPlayer (MEDIA_ERROR_IO).

I experienced the same issue with some of the videos: {extras: -1004, what: 1}. Switching to ExoPlayer fixed it for me. 👍

@omoprodigi I haven’t heard anything from Carlos. I haven’t been able to find anyone who can actually fix the issue.
