More documentation about seek()?

See original GitHub issue

I believe the necessity for a better documentation for seek() is highly undervalued.

Some questions that I ran into while developing using react-native-video:

Is seek() an async function?
How does seek() affect the props of <Video>?

Take a look at this code:

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/blob/2e3ded763a9df2acdbae36450d392345554a678d/Video.js#L53

It is not an async function, however the seek is not immediate because the javascript thread and the corresponding ios/java thread are not in sync.

You can learn more about the bridge between javascript and native code here: https://hackernoon.com/understanding-react-native-bridge-concept-e9526066ddb8

Could you please be more specific with the question: How does seek() affect the props of ?

Which platform are you seeing this issue on? I believe there is an open PR for iOS to handle an issue like this.

If you can paste in a snippet for just the Video related code, I can test that PR and see about getting this fixed.
