+#### headers
+Pass headers to the HTTP client. Can be used for authorization.
+
+To enable this on iOS, you will need to manually edit RCTVideo.m and uncomment the header code in the playerItemForSource function. This is because the code used a private API and may cause your app to be rejected by the App Store. Use at your own risk.
+
+Example:
+```
+headers = {{
+  Authorization: 'bearer some-token-value',
+  'X-Custom-Header': 'some value'
