Feature Request: Support for expo-av #558

Description

@petracles

Hey there - I was sent here by Mux Support when enquiring about Mux SDK support for Expo's video player, expo-av. I was instructed to open a feature request, and I'm hoping to get some information on whether there'll be any support for expo-av in the future.

It's maybe worth noting that I also looked into replacing the expo-av player with react-native-video, but I found that in order to replace it, I would have to eject my project from Expo.

I did get some playback working when wrapping the expo-av player in the react-native-video Mux SDK. However, the main issue I am seeing is that the video player remounts when any state vars are updated in onProgress (or onPlaybackStatusUpdate with expo-av). This results in playback stuttering/looping as the player remounts on each poll.

I hope this info helps, and if there's anything I can do to help support expo-av with Mux, I'm more than happy to help. This issue really puts my work on halt, so any info on this is very appreciated. Thanks!
