Question

I'm working on a react native project and i needed to use subtitles so i started using exoplayer with react native video, the problem is that now i don't have audio on any video, does anyone know how can i solve it?

Answer 1

I tried to use react-native-exoplayer but this module has a lot of problems, now I use the react-native-video and I find it better than exoplayer and you can try using it from this link

and this is an example from react-native-video:

// Load the module

import Video from 'react-native-video';

// Within your render function, assuming you have a file called
// "background.mp4" in your project. You can include multiple videos
// on a single screen if you like.

<Video source={{uri: "background"}}   // Can be a URL or a local file.
       ref={(ref) => {
         this.player = ref
       }}                                      // Store reference
       onBuffer={this.onBuffer}                // Callback when remote video is buffering
       onError={this.videoError}               // Callback when video cannot be loaded
       style={styles.backgroundVideo}

selectedTextTrack={{                 // Subtitles
  type: "title",
  value: "English Subtitles"
}}

selectedVideoTrack={{
  type: "resolution",
  value: 480
}}

 />

// Later on in your styles..
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  backgroundVideo: {
    position: 'absolute',
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0,
  },
});
