H.264 Video is unstable on Quest 3 (black screen/freezing) - No issue on Quest 2

It appears that the forums spam filter is still blocking long posts even when using the code block option. I will attempt to post the information via multiple posts:

Meta Quest TV

    Quest 3:
        H.264 - After pausing video, waiting at least 5 seconds, then selecting the play button again, the video freezes on the paused frame and does not resume playing. Audio does play, but the video remains frozen.
        H.265 - No issues.
    Quest 2:
        H.264 - No issues.
        H.265 - No issues.

Unity - AVPro Plugin (Exoplayer)

    Quest 3:
        H.264 - After pausing video, the video turns completely black after about 5 seconds. Expected behavior is of course to hold the paused frame, but the video blacks out after 5 seconds. When playing the video again, the black screen does go away and the video carries on playing.
        H.265 - No issues.
    Quest 2:
        H.264 - No issues.
        H.265 - No issues.

Unity - Unity's Built-In Video Player

    Quest 3:
        H.264 - After pausing the video, waiting at least 5 seconds, then selecting the play button again, the video shows the next couple of frames for a split second and then freezes completely. Audio also does not resume playing.
        H.265 - No issues.
    Quest 2:
        H.264 - No issues.
        H.265 - No issues.

As you can see above, the issues are isolated to H.264 codec video playback on the Quest 3.

Phew, ok... I think I managed to get past the forum's spam filter and post all of the info via multiple posts.

MetaStoreHelpRyanalitycould you please confirm that this information has been seen and passed along to Meta engineers? This should be very helpful for them to track down the H.264 video decoding errors/bugs that are currently present on the Quest 3!
