[syed-tp]

Version

6.19.1

Platforms

Android

System Version

• Host: macOS 26.2
• Android SDK: compileSdkVersion 36, targetSdkVersion 36

Device

Build-time issue (no physical device required)

Architecture

New architecture enabled (newArchEnabled=true, using interop layer)

Description

Running Android lint on the react-native-video module fails with a WrongThread error.

Lint reports that getVideoTrackInfoFromManifest must be called from a worker thread, but it is currently inferred to be running on the UI thread.

This causes the lint task to fail and blocks builds where lint is enforced.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new React Native project:

   npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init MyApp

2. Install the dependency:

   npm install react-native-video@6.19.1

3. Run lint on the library module:

   cd android
   ./gradlew :react-native-video:lintDebug

   ./gradlew build

   also fails, because it includes lint tasks.

4. Observe the failure.

---

Actual Result

Lint fails with the following error:

Execution failed for task ':react-native-video:lintDebug'.
> Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

.../node_modules/react-native-video/android/src/main/java/com/brentvatne/exoplayer/ReactExoplayerView.java:1616:
Error: Method getVideoTrackInfoFromManifest must be called from the worker thread, currently inferred thread is UI thread [WrongThread]
    return this.getVideoTrackInfoFromManifest(0);

---

Expected Result

Android lint should pass without errors, or the method should be annotated or handled in a way that satisfies lint thread expectations.

---

Environment

• react-native: 0.85.0
• react: 19.2.3
• react-native-video: 6.19.1
• Gradle: 9.3.1
• Java: 17.0.16
• newArchEnabled: true
• hermesEnabled: true

---

Additional Notes

• This issue occurs during lint execution and blocks CI/build pipelines that enforce lint checks.
• Likely related to missing or incorrect thread annotations in ReactExoplayerView.
