Poster and Video being displayed

Current behavior

When using a Video Element along with the poster prop, I am getting both displayed instead of one or the other. This was not a problem with the last version of the player.

Reproduction steps

Create React Code like this:

<Video source={{ uri: videoURI }}
                style={{ flex: 1, height: 200 }}
                paused={this.state.paused}
                controls={true}
                poster={posterURI}
            />

Expected behavior

I would expect the poster to be displayed until you click the play button. On clicking play, it would hide the poster and start the video.

Platform

Which player are you experiencing the problem on:

• iOS

I feel like in audioonly mode it is fooling users. Video keeps playing and only poster stays at the top. There should be actual implementation which doesn’t use bandwidth for video only use audio bandwidth when audio-only flag is set.

Then audio only is only meaningful when there is bandwidth saving to switch from video to audio. But in current player implementation both mode use same bandwidth.

This is still an issue in 5.0.2
