The issue
In a minimal Unity project, we show a prefab window with a MediaPlayer inside. The window appears, waits 5 seconds, and then starts video playback.
Problem:
If the user opens the iOS top notification drawer (causing the app to pause) during the countdown (e.g., at 2 seconds remaining), and then closes it after the total time has passed, the timer logic detects that the video should have already started 3 seconds ago and calls MediaPlayer.Control.Seek(3) followed by Play().
Unexpected behavior:
The video starts correctly from 3 seconds, plays for a few frames, and then suddenly pauses by itself without any further code interaction.
This does not happen if the app is not paused during the countdown.
Expected:
After resuming the app and seeking to 3 seconds, the video should continue playing normally.
