Steps To Reproduce

1. Instantiate a Video with just audio.
2. Set poster
3. Put app in background
4. Go back into app

Expected behaviour

1. Poster should remain

[freeboub]

Poster management is fully done in JS (see Video.js file).
By reviewing the code I don't find the root cause, but I am sure you can find it ! :) ( and provide a pull request to fix it :D )

Edit: do you use the audioOnly prop ?

[freeboub]

I removed audioOnly prop as it bring unexpected JS code ...
I advise to move poster management on application side to ensure the behavior is the expected one with your app
