added these lines in react-native.config.js help me to achieve it in android

module.exports = {
    dependencies: {
        'react-native-video': {
            platforms: {
                android: {
                    sourceDir: '../node_modules/react-native-video/android-exoplayer',
                },
            },
        },
    },
    assets:['./src/assets/fonts/'],
};

remove assets:['./src/assets/fonts/'], if you don't have fonts directory.

app crashes on adding above in the file on playing video. Why it is happening. Let me know if there is any known issue. – Liam
