### Describe the bug
- When network is down temporarily, the stream pauses, the watch progress & total video length timestamps disappear from view, and a large spinner is shown
- Once the network becomes available again, the video restarts rather than continues
### Expected Behavior
In the previous version, the video would continue rather than restart. Probably regression.
