Feature request (iOS): enable phone speaker when phone is in silent mode

[alexcastillo]

Hi there,

Thank you for the amazing project!

Currently, if a sound is played when the phone is in silent mode, the phone speaker does not output any sound. This works perfectly when using headphones, but not when using the phone's speaker.

We are using this library in production, and our users are asking us to be able to use their phone speakers when the phone is in silent mode.

Is this possible?

@alexcastillo do you find any solution for this?

[alexcastillo]

@rodrigogaraujo, unfortunately, no. Since this was a deal breaker for us, we ended up migrating to react-native-track-player.

ok, but I find this solution:
TheWidlarzGroup/react-native-video#204

and work for me

That's great! This will be very helpful to anyone using this lib. Thank you for sharing the solution that worked for you.
