import { ResizeMode, Video } from "expo-av";

i used expo-av for playing the video but the error is showing like this

I need to solve this issue without the returns of the error

Answer 1

I've came across such issue recently and it was caused by the URL of the video you are providing to the Video component of expo-av. Basicaly for some reason when you provide an URL to somekind of player with a video, the component does not want to play it but if the URL is directly to .mp4 video for example, then it's working fine (random-short-video.mp4).

You can google for such URL's.

(I only tested this with mp4 format)
