Base64 string for source?

Hi, can the source take a base64 string for the URI? I know <Image /> can. Was wondering if this had the same capability.

You can write the Base64 encoded content to a file using react-native-fs, naming the file xxxx.mp4. Then pass the Video component the path as the uri, prefixed with ‘file://’.

import RNFS from 'react-native-fs'
const downloadToFile = (base64Content, contentId) => {
	const path = `file://${RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath}/${contentId}.mp4`
	RNFS.writeFile(path, base64Content, 'base64')
	.then(success => {
		console.log('FILE WRITTEN: ', versionId)
	})
	.catch(err => {
		console.log('File Write Error: ', err.message)
	})
}

Then in the video component, you can retrieve the file by its contentId:

<Video source={{ uri: `file://${RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath}/${contentId}.mp4`}} />
