Feature request: pass back player instance in event callbacks

[matthew-dean]

So, in our app, unfortunately, we need to wrap components with https://github.com/faceyspacey/react-universal-component, including react-player. Unfortunately because of the way React works, setting a ref property to a universal-wrapped component does not pass the ref to the underlying component like it does other props.

This means that we can't ever attach a reference to react-player (without forking/rewriting the library). What would be nice is if onReady() / onPlay() callbacks, etc passed back the player instance, so that we can use instance methods. Without any sort of callback mechanism, none of the instance methods are callable.

By the way, this isn't specific to react-universal-component, but will be the case with any higher-order component that wraps react-player.

Fixed in 1.6.2. Sorry for the delay @matthew-dean!
