Playback doesn't start on Amazon FireOS #365

Open
@emilhakobian

Description

The issue
Playback doesn't start and loader spins infinitely when running on Amazon Fire Stick.
In app logs I can see "Buffering" event, but not "Playing".
I've tried on emulator and everything works fine.

Device Info:

  • Device: Amazon Fire Stick
  • FireOS 8.1.2.7
  • react-native 0.76.7
  • react-native-youtube-iframe ^2.2.2
  • react-native-webview 13.12.5
  • expo ~52.0.35

Additional context
Amazon Fire OS uses their own WebView (com.amazon.webview.chromium), I tried to disable it and enable com.google.chrome, but no luck.
I have tried all the available props, also WebViewProps, but no luck.

<YoutubePlayer mute={true} ref={playerRef} forceAndroidAutoplay={true} volume={0} height={500} play={true} videoId={'x22TJMv2RYo'} onReady={onReady} onError={(error) => console.log('WebView error: ', error)} webViewProps={{ originWhitelist: ['*'], mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction: false, javaScriptEnabled: true, domStorageEnabled: true, androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled: true, allowsFullscreenVideo: true, cacheEnabled: true, androidLayerType: "software", userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.2.2; AFTB Build/JDQ39) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.173 Mobile Safari/537.22 cordova-amazon-fireos/3.4.0 AmazonWebAppPlatform/3.4.0;2.0", }} initialPlayerParams={{ controls: false, }} onChangeState={onStateChange}></YoutubePlayer>
