Not crucial, but do you think getting play/pause state from ref can be added?

Why it is needed ?

Having ability to get this state locally can help with optimization

Thank you for your feature request. We will review it and get back to you if we need more information.

Yes this would be a great thing to have

This should be implemented on js side. Register on the event in Video.tsx and save the state to a ref. The accessor just needs to return the value on the ref. (Can also be implemented on the app side, but it can but integrated in the package). Ping @seyedmostafahasani I know you start something similar.

Yeah this could be implemented as @freeboub suggests.
The way the exoplayer lets us keep track of state is by isPlayingChanged events in any class that implements Player.Listener (in rnv, the class ReactExoplayerView does).

I believe you @maksymhcode-care could implement in your video player containing component the following currently though:

const videoIsPlaying = useRef(false);

<Video
  onPlaybackStateStateChanged={(data) => videoIsPlaying.current = data.isPlaying}
  />

Yeah, something like that would works, thanks
