Bug description

Describe here the issue that you are experiencing. Received long video from contact. While playing back, same contact sent another video, which stopped the playback of my current one. I was watching in-app, in full screen, and my video just stopped playing. When I started it again, it went back to the start of the recording. This happened several times, with several video files (they sent me multiple 1-2min videos). This did not happen when they sent a normal text message.

Steps to reproduce

• receive video from contact
• Watch video in chat
• Receive another video from same contact while playing back previous video

Actual result: Describe here what happens after you run the steps above (i.e. the buggy behaviour) Video playback stops and resets progress

Expected result: Describe here what should happen after you run the steps above (i.e. what would be the correct behaviour) Video playback should not be interrupted
