HI,
Looks like you were playing in HW decoder. HW decoder uses android mediaplayer API. It's known that under some unkown circumstances it may lead to such freezes. It will happen with all apps that use the mediaplayer API (Like Stock Gallery, Google Photos, etc). But, It will continue to report to the calling app as playback is in progress. Just restart & check again. It will go away.

If the problem continues, use HW+ as default. It will work.
