Delay on video start

[sourabhdadapure]

there's a two second delay on Video start when clicked on the play button. Is this the default behavior?

My code

<VideoPlayer
    ref={r => (this.player = r)}
    video={{uri:VideoURI}}}
    thumbnail={{uri:ThumbnailURI}}
    resizeMode="cover"
    autoplay={false}
    endWithThumbnail
    disableBack
    disableFullscreen
    pauseOnPress
    playInBackground={false}
    style={{
	width: scale(295),
	height: verticalScale(200),
    }}
/>

@abishekraj @harishsn no, I ended up using react-native-video

Is this happening on iOS, Android or both?

This worked for me.

import convertToProxyURL from 'react-native-video-cache';

<VideoPlayer
    ref={r => (this.player = r)}
    video={{uri: convertToProxyURL(VideoURI), cache: true}}
    playInBackground={false}
    automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling={false}
    rate={1.0}
/>
