culturebeta's Issues

Bug found in video shorts

When you load the react app, the video might take some time to get fetched.. In the meantime, if we access any info of the video say duration or something, it throws an error..
For now, we can comment that part load the page and uncomment it which works
But we need to find the cure as early as possible...
I dont know if we faced anything similar in react native
