Hi @razat2013

It's seems to be an Android problem, not module fault.

Can you try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17259636/enabling-html5-video-playback-in-android-webview

I guest that you have to put in your AndroidManifest.xml file this attribute:
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

Att.

I'm using html5 player in webview and all works fine.
At first, add android:hardwareAccelerated="true" to manifest file
At second, I modified Java code in RNWebView.java file:

public RNWebView(ReactContext reactContext) {
        super(reactContext);
        mEventDispatcher = reactContext.getNativeModule(UIManagerModule.class).getEventDispatcher();
        mWebViewClient = new EventWebClient();
        this.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        this.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        this.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
        this.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

        this.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        this.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        this.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        this.setInitialScale(1);

        this.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            this.getSettings().setMixedContentMode(WebSettings.MIXED_CONTENT_ALWAYS_ALLOW);
        }

        this.setWebViewClient(mWebViewClient);
}
