This update introduces the optional IMDb ID parameter to the navigation types and the VideoPlayer component, enhancing subtitle fetching capabilities. The StreamsScreen has been updated to utilize the new IMDb ID, ensuring that external subtitles can be automatically searched based on the provided ID. These changes improve the overall functionality and user experience when accessing video content.
This update disables the debug mode for production and introduces a new state to track video loading status. The opening animation sequence has been modified to wait for the video to load before displaying the player, enhancing the user experience during playback. Additionally, unnecessary code related to seeking has been removed for clarity and performance improvements.
This update introduces the use of the expo-screen-orientation library to lock the screen orientation to landscape mode when navigating to the Player component from both HomeScreen and StreamsScreen. Additionally, it refines loading state management in StreamsScreen by implementing guards to prevent excessive re-renders and ensuring accurate provider status updates. The changes contribute to a smoother user experience during video playback and improved performance across the application.
This update integrates the react-native-vlc-media-player into the VideoPlayer component, replacing the previous video player implementation. It introduces new state management for audio and subtitle tracks specific to VLC, enhances buffering handling, and updates the UI for audio and subtitle selection modals. Additionally, package.json and package-lock.json have been updated to include the new VLC media player dependency and node-fetch. The TypeScript configuration has also been adjusted to support JSX and module interoperability.
