What happened?
I recently upgraded from RN 0.78 to RN 0.82 and now I encountered the following issue:
Even when specifying both shutterColor="transparent" and hideShutterView={true}. There is still a black screen when the video first loads.
I also tried using viewType={ViewType.TEXTURE} but this seems to also not fix the issue.
Before the upgrade to RN 0.82 it still worked fine. I was using react-native-video 6.10.2 and upgraded to 6.18.0 now. But I do not think this is necessarly the issue since I also tried it using 6.10.2 with the commit #94967fc applied.
