 - Allow player to be init before source is provided, and later update once a source is provided. [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
 - Adds handling for providing a empty source in order to stop playback and clear out any existing content [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
-- Add support for onBufferProgress prop on Android to get buffer data even when the player is paused. [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
 - Add support for detecting if format is supported and exclude unsupported resolutions from auto quality selection and video track info in RN. [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
 - Improve error handling [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
 - Add support for L1 to L3 Widevine fallback if playback fails initially. [#2689](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/pull/2689)
