Expo Video Player

Please provide the following: SDK Version: 34 Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android When playing a video on Android, if you skip or go back few seconds, or use the seek controller to go back and forth, the video will stop and become unresponsive to user interaction. We are using the same code on iOS and it works fine. We only had an iOS app but when we started getting into the Android platform, we noticed this issue. How to produce this bug: Make sure it’s an Android app using Expo SDK 3…

If I skip backwards and fowards too much on a video playing on an anrdoid device/emulator then eventually the video will become unresponsive. There doesnt seem to be an error logged for this either so I am not sure what the problem is.

To replicate:
On an Android device load a remote url into the video component.
Play the video and skip ahead and back until it becomes unresponsive.
I have found that it happens quicker on longer videos and when in fullscreen mode.

Component Code:

        <Video
          source={{
            uri: 'http://d23dyxeqlo5psv.cloudfront.net/big_buck_bunny.mp4',
          }}
          rate={1.0}
          volume={1.0}
          isMuted={false}
          resizeMode={"contain"}
          useNativeControls={true}
          isLooping={false}
          style={{ width: Dimensions.get("window").width,  height: 250}}
        />```
Other version info:
"expo-av": "~8.6.0"

Recorded this on an emulator but it happens on physical devices as well.
