Video codec error when seeking file with encrypted audio stream

See original GitHub issue

We are encountering issues when trying to seek a video file, which is reproducible using the sample app. The video file in question has the audio stream encrypted (and the sample app doesn’t actually recognise an audio stream). We have a use case that allows users to seek paused video frame by frame and so this is issue is critical for our app.

To reproduce the issue, use the video file supplied (email across), pause playback and repeatedly tap the ‘seek back 5 seconds button’. The stack trace is below. It is worth noting that if we select video tracks ‘none’ the issue no longer appears.

Thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce it on Pixel 4a running S beta. It seems that just pausing then seeking back and waiting a few seconds is enough to trigger the error.
