[BUG] Seeking not works for some videos

[Sureshgorai25]

I have some videos in mkv format and when I use double tapp to seek forward, it doesn't works, also swiping on the seekbar doesn't works. It always return the the start at 0:00. Idk if it's the issue with high quality videos or what But I'm using a device with a13

The problem lies within upstream ExoPlayer itself. I am currently working on a potential solution for this, although I cannot make any guarantees.

Link to issue? Are you going to try to submit a PR upstream?

Do you have a little more information on this? I'm also still hitting this bug, an upstream link to track would be sweet!

And this upstream issue (essentially the same as the stackoverflow link) https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1082
