autoplay and paused props not working in Android

[Symous]

I want to control the video playing status manually,but even I set autopaly={true} and paused={true} it still play automatically.I also had try chenge a playing state in onLoad method,but still not working.

I'm seeing the same issue on Android. As soon as the Video component is rendered it starts playing the video even if rate=0 and paused=true.
It works correctly on IOS.

Any ideas?

Same here. However, if there is something externally that changes the paused property from false to to true, it works. However, it always starts playing, no matter what I do.

Does anyone know the reason for this?

Same here on Android 5.0

Hi, guys , I have found why this happened.This is the PR #625 to fix this problem. the author hasn't merge that. so you can have a look at it and modify the native code. :-)

now we can use pause={true} to make the video stop in the beginning.

Fixed by #1082. In my testing everything is working properly now. Will be released in 3.0. There isn't an autoPlay prop, but if you don't specify a paused prop, it will auto-play.

set paused={true} inside video props.
<Video
{...videoProps}
ref={(r) => { this.player = r; }}
source={{ uri: currentMessage.video }}
// style={videoStyle}
style = {{
aspectRatio: 1,
width: "90%"
}}
resizeMode="cover"
// onBuffer={this.onBuffer}
// onLoadStart={this.onLoadStart}
//onLoad={this.onLoad}
fullscreenAutorotate = "landscape"
allowsExternalPlayback ={true}
controls = {true}
fullscreen = {true}
paused = {true}
// fullscreenAutorotate={true}
// resizeMode="contain"
/>
