Getting the following error while fetching a local video:
RNFetchBlob request error: Expected URL scheme 'http' or 'https' but was 'file'null]

Following is the code that produces the above error:

 Logger.Log('Inside Video Blob');
    const response = await RNFetchBlob.fetch('GET', URI);
    Logger.Log('Inside Video Blob', response);


    if (!response.respInfo || !response.respInfo.headers) {
      throw new Error('Failed to fetch file');
    }

    const headers = response.respInfo.headers;
    const contentType = headers['Content-Type'] || '';
    const blob = response.blob(contentType, 0);
 
    return blob;
