Getting started with a chromeless UI on React Native

First, follow the React Native SDK getting-started guide to install react-native-theoplayer and render a minimal THEOplayerView.

Do not add @theoplayer/react-native-ui when you want a chromeless implementation. Instead:

1. Obtain the Player instance exposed by THEOplayerView.
2. Subscribe to playback events and store the state required by your interface.
3. Render your own React Native controls over or around the video view.
4. Call Player methods from those controls.
5. Handle loading, errors, accessibility, and platform lifecycle changes in your application.

Start with play and pause controls, then add seeking, tracks, fullscreen behavior, casting, and advertising controls as your product requires.

If you prefer ready-made components, use Open Video UI for React Native.
