Video play just shows a black screen

[isAlmogK]

Not sure what exactly is going on but this was working fine but now all the sudden when I play a video I get just a black screen I can hear the sound. Here is my code and I'm on the latest version

<VideoPlayer
    endWithThumbnail
    thumbnail={{uri: selectedPhoto.url.thumbnail}}
    video={{uri: selectedPhoto.url.compressedFile}}
/>

@cornedor any updates on this?

[cornedor]

Sorry for the late reply, had a few busy weeks. Do you have this problem in the simulator? Or also on an actual device? If so what OS are you using?

[isAlmogK]

For me it happens both on Andriod both device and simulator

[cornedor]

can you share a video with the problem? And which Android version are you using?

[isAlmogK]

Pixel 8.0

I had similar problem and it was problem with video uri. Can you verify that uri is correct and it's working with react-native-video?
