Steps to reproduce the bug
Well it's complicated but i let you know as much as I can so when you go to any videos and do watch for a while at random times it just fully crash the player and needs reboot to start videos back up if the app is not restarted the error will keep repeating again and again anytime you press play
Expected behavior
Video plays normally
Actual behavior
When you randomly this error happens it freezes the player in a app where it crashes anytime a video is attempted to be played unless you restart the whole app
