hi @hyochan , do you have thoughts on this?
This library works great, but when playing track from the network, it loads a bit slow and when the network is really bad, it would make the app freeze (i guess it's blocking the js). This particular issue is really painful, other things work great!

Looks like this is a great issue to be covered. I've tried to handle the error message when URL is not player in #480, however, they do not throw the error 🤔

What would be the good proposal to handle such issue like this?

please note that while waiting for the callback error application got freeze till the callback returned.
[ANDROID]

It gives an error after freezing the app
[Error: Prepare failed.: status=0x1]

I See in the android native module
you are doing
/**
* Set timer task to send an event to RN.
*/

may because of this timer freeze the app. !!

My suggestion is to put it inside a thread.
