Currently, when we are using tunneled mode, when we do a seek in pause state, the player could not decode a video frame. This is not a very good experience for users. Since Android API level 31, there is a new parameter PARAMETER_KEY_TUNNEL_PEEK. This should fix the actual issue. Here is the documentation : - https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec#PARAMETER_KEY_TUNNEL_PEEK - https://source.android.com/docs/devices/tv/multimedia-tunneling#behavior Is it planned to add this feature in a future version of media3 to enhance user experience ?
