Video is downloaded twice

[khataev]

Hi,

can please someone interpret the results I have from my network inspector (mitmproxy), which tells me that react native video downloads video twice. I observed this behaviour in emulator, but it seems that it is the same on the real device. Looks not good to me.

As we can see first time video is fully downloaded, while there is one partial request that download only small chunk and the last one is also partial, but it downloads almost the whole file.

File size does not matter:

Just in case: these requests are sent on component load without even clicking on play button.

Here is code snippet:

return (
    <ViewContainer>
      <Video
            source={{
              uri: uri,
              bufferConfig: {
                minBufferMs: 4500,
                maxBufferMs: 15000,
                bufferForPlaybackMs: 4500,
                bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs: 4500,
              },
            }}
            playWhenInactive={false}
            playInBackground={false}
            disableFocus={true}
            shutterColor='transparent'
            controls={true}
            controlsStyles={{
              hidePrevious: true,
              hideNext: true,
            }}
            paused
            onError={() => {
              console.warn('Video cannot be loaded');
            }}
            style={styles.videoplayer}
          />
    </ViewContainer>
  );
});
