Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior on Android 8.1 with LBRY 0.16.0, enabling Data Network Participation, restarting, watching a video, and checking the blobfiles directory. Done means blob files are present after playback, the project builds without errors, and unit and device tests cover the acceptance criteria.
