Loading is very slow

[brave-coder9]

I am using react-native-video 4.4.2

        <Video
          style={{ position: 'absolute', opacity: 0 }}
          source={{ uri: trackUrl }}
          audioOnly={true}
          ref={ref => this.player = ref}
          volume={1.0}
          muted={false}
          rate={speedRate}
          paused={isPaused}
          onEnd={this._onEnd}
          onLoad={this._onLoad}
          onSeek={this._onSeek}
          playInBackground={true}
          playWhenInactive={true}
          onBuffer={this._onBuffer}
          ignoreSilentSwitch={'ignore'}
          onProgress={this._onProgress}
          onLoadStart={this._onLoadStart}
        />

It's too long (4s) between Loading and Buffering

How can I reduce the loading time?

also same issue with the latest version , video init is very slow on real device iphone

[tom-krusch]

Loading Time on iOS Simulator is slower than Android, but on real iOS device it is even slower

any update for issues?

Having same issue I am using a video as a background.
Video size is about 33mb and stored in assets
On load start 7:59:02 pm
On load 7:59:09 pm
takes about 7 sec to load and video start running.

forget this package , try [https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/video/](expo-av Video) package . It's loading time is quite faster than this. To use this package on vanilla react-native app you have to install expo uniodules.
