Player
Question
So I am using the very latest, as of today, React Native SDK, and when using the player in tvOS via React Native, and using the system ui for the player. The title and description are not shown anywhere.
Hi @sune!
You can define the title and the description via the SourceConfig.
See the relevant API for title and for description
Please make sure you have the title and description set already at the time when calling player.load(sourceConfig) as changing it is not supported after the load() call.
The title shows up right above the transport bar (or seek bar) and the description along with the title again, shows up if you swipe down or hit the down button, then go to the Info panel.
See screenshots:
I hope this answers your question!
Yeah, that makes sense, and that is what we are doing
But when using the system ui in tvOS, nothing shows up, title and description is blank. In android TV and other platforms that are using the web UI, the title and description shows up. It seems like some of the native code is throwing away the title and description
Interesting!
Could you provide code snippet that I can use to try to reproduce?
I wonder if there is something in the actual string that might cause this.
e.g. a player.load() call with raw string values.
You don’t have to share your asset URL, you can redact that as I can test with any asset.
