I am currently building an application requiring fast loads of videos/media content. In the past, for displaying video content, I've used the react-native-video library. However, I'm not sure if I'm unfamiliar with how the the library ought to work, or if the library simply doesn't support this, but the library would always entirely fetch the video before playing it. For 20mb videos, this could result in an initial buffer of 10 s on cellular data, which is not fast enough.

I'm looking for a library with a video player which will play video content without having fetched the entire remote resource. I'm not sure what to call this: remote buffering/streaming?

I've done some digging and the closest thing I could find that I'm looking for is WebRTC, but this seems to be more for live streaming rather than streaming a static resource.

Any tips or nudges in the right direction would be much appreciated!
