Video Controls randomly appear in certain videos during playback when defaultControlsVisible prop is set to true

[eeshankeni]

I've noticed that every time (for specific videos), the controls randomly pop up during playback. This can be rather annoying. The problem only happens when I set defaultControlsVisible={true}.
Tried this with multiple videos, it seems to only happen to specific videos so far. However when the bug does happen its always at the same timestamp every time.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup the Video Player Component
2. Add Source to a video (local file in this case)
3. Set defaultControlsVisible={true}
4. Controls should pop up randomly and always at the same time stamp.

Screenshots
Link to recording of the bug

Expected behaviour
Video Controls should never pop up unless the user taps on the video.

Additional information:

• Type: Real device
• Device: OnePlus 6, OnePlus 3, OnePlus Nord CE, Moto G5
• OS: Android 10
• Package version 2.0.1
• Expo version 42.0.1

Code and videos

I have added the 2 video files I used to recreate the bug in case anyone wants to test.

<VideoPlayer
        videoProps={{
          shouldPlay: false,
          resizeMode: Video.RESIZE_MODE_CONTAIN,
          source: require('../Dummy_Posts/VideoPosts/8.mp4'),
          
        }}
        defaultControlsVisible={true}
        
        style={{ height: 350 }}
      />

Having the same issue, any workaround?

Having the same issue, any workaround?

I just moved back to using expo av, it's much better to use that with default native controls. I belive this package is also stuck on an older version of expo-av
