Description
When streaming 4k content, our surface buffer is failing and the player is freezing when shifting from 4k to 2k on a HEVC stream. It works in the media3 demo application and we can't find the difference in our implementation. Wondering if others have come across this behavior before or have some ideas on how to resolve. 4k -> any other resolution works just 4k -> 2k causes the freeze.
