Render Error [2209, "RCTVIEW",{"width":"<<NaN>>"}] is not usable as a native method argument

[jrhager84]

When using the Video component from react-native-video-controls, I get this error. With the Video component from react-native-video, it works perfectly. I also have found that if I leave the controls enabled for the native controls, the error doesn't happen. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

My Base player:

import React, { ReactPropTypes, SetStateAction, useCallback, useState } from 'react';

    // set height and duration
    setDuration && setDuration(res?.duration);
    setVidAspectRatio(res?.naturalSize?.width / res?.naturalSize?.height || 1.8);
  }

Same problem ,

[robertolaru]

What version are you using? I'm encountering similar issues with [email protected], react-native-video@^6.0.0-alpha.1, react-native-video-controls@^2.8.1

[ursnj]

Same for me too.... Any solution ???

[robertolaru]

In my case the crash was due to using react-native-gesture-handler on a specific app page (the same where the video component was*). After removing usages of react-native-gesture-handler in that page and switching previous logic to React Native's gesture system, the page worked fine without crashing.

*I'm not using react-native-video-controls directly, but its dependency react-native-video (i needed my own custom video controls UI) but the issue is still relevant.

I fixed this problems with

import { Dimensions } from "react-native";
// ...

// render() component
<VideoPlayer style={{
    left: 0,
    top: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0,
    width: Dimensions.get('window').width,
    height: 2160 * (Dimensions.get('window').width / 3840)
}} source={{ uri: "https://www.google.com/google.mp4" }}
/>

// this will fit your player to 16:9 aspect ratio

I had to patch the package to replace
const percent = this.state.currentTime / this.state.duration;
with
const percent = this.state.duration === 0 ? 0 : this.state.currentTime / this.state.duration;
in VideoPlayer.js since it doesn't look like they're merging any PRs recently

[michioxd]

Now i know this error only occurred in DEBUG mode.
I fixed it by briefly pressing the pause button, then waiting for the video to finish loading and then pressing the play button.

This is working, can we raise and merge PR ???

This is working! Thanks!
