Also hit this issue after upgrading to Gifted Chat 0.6.0

Issue Description

I have react-native-video installed separately for use elsewhere in the app.

Upgraded to Gifted Chat 0.6.0, started getting red screen error saying "Tried to register two views with the same name RCTVideo".

Changed react-native-video version from 4.0.1 --> 3.2.1 to match Gifted Chat dependency. Issues persisted.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets

Install react-native-video and react-native-gifted-chat.
Use react-native-video elsewhere in app?
Observe crash.

Expected Results

Should not crash

Additional Information

• Nodejs version: 11.2.0
• React version: 16.6.3
• React Native version: 0.57.8
• react-native-gifted-chat version: 0.6.0
• Platform(s) (iOS, Android, or both?): iOS (only tested iOS)

Uninstalling react-native-video fixes the crash.

Ideally, I would like to have both react-native-video and react-native-gifted-chat installed at the same time.

Possibly related to #1095

[ahartzog]

Yes @adilosa that PR resolves this issue. Just need to stub in react-native-video in that PR to pass the tests.

Hi, i am also facing the same issue ..
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1450

do we know when this will be fixed ?

[vanhungoz]

at the moment, i delete react-native-video in gifted-chat/node-module. it is just a trick

[jaspervanbrian]

Yep same issue here. I also deleted gifted-chat/node-modules/react-native-video dir. Hoping to get a solution from you.

[vanhungoz]

it should work :D

[khushhal]

Thanks, i found the alternate solution only if you are not having video in chat you can downgrade the version to use both libraries together
"react-native-gifted-chat": "^0.4.3"

But with this video will not supported in chat.

FWIW @ahartzog's fork has been working for me, until the PR gets merged.

https://github.com/nerdfitness/react-native-gifted-chat

"react-native-gifted-chat": "git+https://github.com/nerdfitness/react-native-gifted-chat.git",

I have solve this problem by following steps--
1> install separately "react-native-video"
2> Delete "react-native-video" folder from Node-Modules of Gifted Chat repositories, if it is exist..
3>after that "react-native link react-native-video"
like That:
include ':react-native-video'
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-
native-video/android')

 ensure that link with only "android" not with "android-exoplayer"

It works for me even using the last version. Thanks

"react": "^16.8.6",
"react-native": "^0.59.4",
"react-native-video": "^4.4.1",
"react-native-video-player": "^0.10.0",
"react-native-gifted-chat-video-support": "^0.4.6",

In my case gifted-chat has the react-native-video to so inside package.json in the gifited-card i see the version is the video is 3.2.1 on my global package.json i install the same version.
rm -rf node_modules/
yarn install --frozen-lockfile.
