HTMLVideoElement interface
that extends HTMLMediaElement interface.
This is a typescript class and not a react native component. Apps need
to create an instance of VideoPlayer and use it to start buffering the content
without rendering video on screen. It doesn’t render video to the screen by
default, nor does it render the media controls GUI. Apps are expected to build
their own media controls UI and control the playback experience. When the app
wants to show the video on screen, it must add KeplerVideoSurfaceView React
Native component to the render tree, receive onSurfaceViewCreated event and
pass the surface handle obtained in the event callback to VideoPlayer through
the setSurfaceHandle API.
