Hello, @rupinderjeet
For playing video we use exoplayer dependency. And I see they have this issue in their repository. I see some workarounds in the issue, but it's still not fixed. Not sure that we can deal with it by ourselves. Will wait for the fix from exoplayer maintainers.

Will be fixed in scope of #2880

Will be resolved by #2880

Closing given that it's resolved in another ticket
