After adding the react-native-video to the newly created project I get this error when I want to run the project (android), but once I uninstall it, everything runs ok.

info JS server already running.

Replace compile project(':react-native-video') to implementation project(':react-native-video')

Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0]

Found a solution here.

Go to file: node_module/react-native-video/android-exoplayer/build.gradle

change all references of 2.13.2 to 2.13.3
