start in Fullscreen-Mode

[patricktresp]

Hi,

i am not sure, if it is an issue, but i would like to start the videoplayer in Fullscreen mode without having to hit the fullscreen button. As i was looking through the extended react-native-video module, i found a method presentFullscreenPlayer();

Unfortunatly, this method is not available, when calling on the react-native-video-player reference

<VideoPlayer ref={r => (this.player = r)} … </VideoPlayer>

componentDidMount(){ if(this.player){ this.player.presentFullscreenPlayer(); } }

Is there any workaround to that or a specific policy i do not know?

Thanks,

Patrick

Nobody wanting this? i tried to modify the sources to call toggleFullScreen() after it has mounted, but he reference is not available before the isPlaying State...

any hint is appreciated!

I used a setTimeout as a workaround

function onStart(type) {
      setTimeout(() => {              
        player.current.presentFullscreenPlayer()           
      }, 500)  
  }

...

<VideoPlayer ... onStart={() => onStart()} />
