Tweet with video doesn't show the video

[jpcodr]

Describe the bug
Hi

I'm using tweet_video.json from the example folder. The tweet renders fine but the video is not displayed even with a clean project. This occurs with both versions 3.0.1 and 4.0.0-dev-1 but the behavior is a little different.
3.0.1 After load video, CircularProgressIndicator is removed you can press play and other actions, the video is playing but the screen remains in black.

4.0.0-dev.1 Same as 3.0.1 but the CircularProgressIndicator is not removed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new project
2. Install tweet_ui
3. Use a tweet with video
4. See error

Expected behavior
The video is displayed correctly

Have you tried on real ios device @jpcodr? As written in the Readme

Video/GIF Tweets don't work on iOS simulators (video_player ios instructions)

Also did you follow the instructions for ios support for better_player - https://jhomlala.github.io/betterplayer/#/install

OK, as I see it is written in the README of example folder. Maybe this should be written in the main README? WDYT @kawa89 ?

@wszeborowskimateusz I Think it should be in the main readme :)

I confirm that it works on emulator and android device as well as on iOS device. That notice should definitely be in the main Readme.

Also it's a bit weird that the videos are not displayed in the simulator. I'm using the video_player plugin to display other videos in my app and works well in the simulator

@kawa89 @wszeborowskimateusz

I think this issue can be closed.

Also, i have a question. I don't know where to do it cause is not an issue. Is there any way to autoplay the videos?

[wszeborowskimateusz]

As I see there is no such option currently. You can file a feature request so we can add it.
