Description
Over the past few months I have noticed some confusion around using video with nativescript. The main issue stems from exoplayer and videoplayer both being used but not clear which should be used or why. The idea would be to potential renaming @nstudio/nativescript-exoplayer using the word "video" but being clear that it is more robust and requires the exo libraries with it.
It would be nice to also include some sort of video section in the UI docs or including it in the plugins section of the official nativescript website. This would ideally solve some confusion around if nativescript supports video and which plugin would be best for your project.
I believe it would be helpful if it is more clear that nativescript can support video and does, as well as give some information around which plugin might be better for the project someone is currently working on. This might also create more interest in PRs for the plugins as they will be more visible.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the @nstudio/nativescript-exoplayer package naming and the existing NativeScript UI or official plugins documentation entry points. Define whether the work is a rename, documentation-only update, or both, and identify how the exoplayer and videoplayer options should be compared. Done means the recommended video plugins and their differences are clearly documented.
