Why is my onLoad event for a RN video component not firing?

Question

I'm trying to display an Alert message when the video is done loading, but this event doesn't seem to be firing; I've seen that other people have had similar issues, but I haven't been able to find a solution yet.

  <Video
    onLoad={() => Alert.alert("LOADING")}
    ref={video}
    style={styles.video}
    source={{
      uri: "www.myvideo.com",
    }}
    repeat
  />

onLoadedData event does the trick:

  <Video
    onLoadedData={() => Alert.alert("LOADING")}
    ref={video}
    style={styles.video}
    source={{
      uri: "www.myvideo.com",
    }}
    repeat
  />

it was a simple answer to a simple question. onLoad event is not working. but onLoadedData event firing. so what do you want more? – Yehuda Zvi May 07 '22 at 17:53
