does it work with just a webview with the youtube URL?

eg:

<WebView 
  source={{ uri: 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/4FO6E7EsYaY }}
  style={{ height: 100, width: 100 }}
/>

[ant100]

nope, i think the issue is there

[LonelyCpp]

looks like an issue with the underlying webview. Either the firestick doesn't support standard webview features, or there's a bug inside rn-webview package. Y'all can try opening an issue over there.

Hi @kiashan, I have been able to run the library on a firestick, just add forceAndroidAutoplay

<YoutubePlayer
  width={dimensions.width}
  height={dimensions.height}
  videoId={'youtube_id'}
  play
  onChangeState={onStateChange}
  forceAndroidAutoplay={true} // important 
/>
