  const handleAllPlayerEvents = (eventData) => {
     console.log(eventData);
  };

  const handleVideoLoad = (eventData) => {cd
    console.log('VIDEO LOADED' + '-' + eventData.playerReference);
  };

          <BridPlayer
            ref={bridPlayerRef3}
            style={styles.square}
            bridPlayerConfig={{
              playerReference: 'player_3', // Player reference important for Events
              playerID: xxxx, // PlayerID from BridTV cms
              mediaID: xxxxxxxx, //VideoID or PlaylistID from BridTv cms
              typeOfPlayer: 'Single', // Single or Playlist
              controlAutoplay: false, //enables the client to take control over autoplay
              scrollOnAd: true, //This option enables scrolling during ad and is specific to the iOS platform. By default, Android has scrolling enabled during ads.
              creditsLabelColor: '614BC3', // To achieve color modification for credits label, it is necessary to provide a sequence of six hexadecimal characters, excluding the '#' symbol.
              setCornerRadius: 30, //This property enables setting the corner radius to the player itself. Its value is in pixels.
              localization: 'en', //This property allows selecting the language in which the player and IMA will operate.

            }}
            //Callback for Events from all players in one Activity {"message": "video/ad event", "playerReference": "reverence to player from props"}
            handleAllPlayerEvents={(eventData) =>handleAllPlayerEvents(eventData)}
            //Video
            handleVideoLoad={(eventData) => handleVideoLoad(eventData)}
            handleVideoStart={(eventData) => handleVideoStart(eventData)}
            //Error
            handleVideoError={(eventData) => handleVideoError(eventData)}
          />
