Cannot Tell Play or Paused on Android: onPlaybackStateChanged and onPlaybackRateChange payload not accessible

Bug

I found this issue #1879 that has part of my issue in it, but the possible resolution also does not work. The other part of my issue is the other way I would be able to tell if the video is playing at least, does not return anything. So I am wondering if there is any reliable way to tell if the video is playing or paused in Android?

Thank you!

Steps To Reproduce

<Video
   ref={(ref) => (videoPlayer.current = ref)}
   source={{ uri: video }}  
   paused={state.paused}
   onPlaybackRateChanged={(e) => console.log(e)}
   resizeMode={"contain"}
   style={{
         top: 0,
         left: 0,
         bottom: 0,
         right: 0,
         height: height, 
         width: width,
      }}
  />

1. Use the event prop onPlaybackRateChanged or onPlaybackStateChanged and console log the payload.

Expected behaviour

1. I am trying to get the payload from onPlaybackRateChanged or onPlaybackStateChanged (not shown). In the documentation, it shows that they should both work on Android.
2. onPlaybackRateChanged should give me back a zero or one to show that it is playing or paused.
3. onPlaybackStateChanged (not shown) would provide me a isPlaying : true/false.

Reproducible sample code

<Video
   ref={(ref) => (videoPlayer.current = ref)}
   source={{ uri: video }}  
   paused={state.paused}
   onPlaybackRateChanged={(e) => console.log(e)}
   resizeMode={"contain"}
   style={{
         top: 0,
         left: 0,
         bottom: 0,
         right: 0,
         height: height, 
         width: width,
      }}
  />

Video sample

If possible, include a link to the video that has the problem that can be streamed or downloaded from.
