• Pixel 5 (Android 14) - UP1A.231105.001
• Samsung s23 ultra (Android 14)
• Samsung s22 ultra (Android 14)
• Oneplus 7 Pro (Android 13)

Reproducible in the demo app?

Yes

Reproduction steps

I see that the problem only occurs when I switch between two HLS videos with different aspect ratios (from vertical to horizontal)

It is easier to test using the sample app: https://github.com/Stronger197/ExoIssue
but you can also reproduce this in "demo-session" app by replacing the source links.

Sample app:

1. Open the app
2. Click "next" until the 3rd video appears
3. Check the media playback notification (infinite loading)

Media3 demo app:

1. Insert the provided links into "demo-session app" to play them as playlist (via catalog.json for example)
2. Click "next" until the 3rd video appears
3. Infinite loading

Expected result

Playlist is playing normally

Actual result

The video gets stuck in the "EventLogger: loading" state.
But when I minimize the app, playback resumes as normal.
