Video is not able to buffer when using seekbar to move forward

[androidparth90]

I am developing a React native app where I am playing videos. Earlier, I was able to play them. However, when I tried recently and when playing if I use the seek bar to move forward then the video buffering happens which takes a long time. If I try to quit and play video again then also it does not work.

Platform

Android

Which player are you experiencing the problem on:

• Android ExoPlayer

This issue has been resolved. Please follow the steps mention by @SimajjiHans in the below link : #1320 ... We will need to manually make the change in the exo-player source code until a new version of react-native-video is released with this patch
