*I think this could be connected to #6696, though? They seem to have the same or a similar error in logs, I can’t tell if this is the same bug or not.

Steps to reproduce the bug

I can’t reproduce that but I opened a short video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3WW-Q4LAug), clicked play and entered fullscreen mode. The video was playing in landscape without the image (only sound) for a couple seconds, I was touching the screen while I was waiting for it to load, it switched to portrait and the app crashed

Actual behavior

Crash

Expected behavior

Video loading normally without crashing

@janTaja Hi, does this issue still occur on version 0.22.1?

[slavalamp]

@TacoTheDank haha, i completely forgot about it... it never happened to me again and i can’t reproduce it now, but it seems i couldn’t reproduce it even when i created the issue, so i don’t know for sure.

Interesting... In that case I will close it. If it somehow happens again, feel free to open another issue :)
