What happened?

Package works as expected in simulator.

But on real device (Pixel 6), after re-setState source, some "file:///" source cannot be load. onLoad, onReadyForDisplay doesn't get called. isBuffering is stuck at true.

First source logs:

LOG source {"uri": "file:///data/user/0/com.my.app/cache/244_d1baa119-05d9-4605-9d23-564fe94aaafb/2023121815451718545158505.mp4"}
LOG onIdle
LOG onLoadStart {}
LOG onBuffer {"isBuffering": true}
LOG onLoadStart {}
LOG onVideoTracks {"videoTracks": [{"bitrate": 0, "codecs": "avc1.4D402A", "height": 1034, "index": 0, "rotation": 0, "selected": false, "trackId": "1", "width": 640}]}
LOG onPlaybackStateChanged {"isPlaying": true}
LOG onReadyForDisplay
LOG onBuffer {"isBuffering": false}
LOG onLoad {"audioTracks": [{"bitrate": 128000, "index": 0, "language": "und", "selected": true, "title": null, "type": "audio/mp4a-latm"}], "canPlayFastForward": true, "canPlayReverse": true, "canPlaySlowForward": true, "canPlaySlowReverse": true, "canStepBackward": true, "canStepForward": true, "currentTime": 0, "duration": 26.024, "naturalSize": {"height": 1034, "orientation": "portrait", "width": 640}, "textTracks": [], "trackId": "1", "videoTracks": [{"bitrate": 0, "codecs": "avc1.4D402A", "height": 1034, "index": 0, "rotation": 0, "selected": false, "trackId": "1", "width": 640}]}

Then, set second source, that second one can't be played. Second source logs:

LOG source {"uri": "file:///data/user/0/com.my.app/cache/244_d1baa119-05d9-4605-9d23-564fe94aaafb/1720928478104.mp4"}
LOG onBuffer {"isBuffering": true}
LOG onVideoTracks {"videoTracks": []}
LOG onLoadStart {}
LOG onVideoTracks {"videoTracks": [{"bitrate": 0, "codecs": "avc1.4D0029", "height": 868, "index": 0, "rotation": 0, "selected": false, "trackId": "1", "width": 640}]}

If i set that second source first ( as initial source), video is played as intended. Or i change the first source to another video, then re-set source to second one, both are played as intended. Very strange behaviour.

            style={{
              width: 1034,
              height:  640,
            }}
          />

Did you have a look to the logcat ? maybe you will have more information inside this log...

This happens when inserting another prop into a loaded player.
It looks like Android media3 issue, and I was expecting it would be fixed in #3784
But it still seems to happen.
Tricky fix is to pass source an integer(not decimal) greater than 0 for startPosition, such as 1 on Android.
(currently there is a bug in media3 where it buffers indefinitely if you treat it as 0 or null)

Thanks for the temporary fix! This works for me, for now.
