react-native-video-player Video play just shows a black screen

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}}
/>

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?

For me it happens both on Andriod both device and simulator

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?
