TODO

Android video Aspect ratio and other params does not work(Events are called but all events come through a single event onVideoStateChange but the JS side does not implement it.).

Got a few minutes to spare? Please help us to keep this repo up to date and simple to use.

Our idea was to keep the repo simple, and people can use it with newer RN versions without any additional config.

Get a fork of tis repo and clone VLC Media Player test
Run it for ios and android locally using your fork, and do the changes. (remove this package using npm remove react-native-vlc-media-player and install the forked version from git hub npm i https://git-address-to-your-forked-repo)
Verify your changes and make sure everything works on both platforms. (If you need a hand with testing I might be able to help as well)
Send PR.
Be happy, Coz you are a Rockstart 🌟 ❤️
