The issue

When using OES to render videos, we notice that when the video is not playing, and the default texture is being used (ApplyToMaterial), that it seems to have gamma applied to it when the app is running. The AVProVideo shader being used is AvProVideo/Unlit/Opaque/Android OES Only. Even though "Apply Gamma" is deselected, the texture is having gamma applied to it as it appears much darker.

To reproduce this issue, simply press Play in the Unity Editor and stop the video. You will see the default texture is too dark as gamma has been applied even though Apply Gamma is deselected. If you then select Apply Gamma and then immediately deselect it, the texture then looks correct.

When the actual video is playing everything looks correct.

We are using Linear Color Space in the Unity project and URP.

What is the reason for this?
