Description
Steps to reproduce
- Open and play a non-cached MP4 file using the iOS app.
- Tap the screen so that the stock iOS player controls appear over the video being streamed.
- Use the AirPlay button to stream to an Apple TV.
Expected behaviour
Video continues streaming via AirPlay to Apple TV.
Actual behaviour
TV flickers and video does not play.
However, if you download the video ("Make available offline"), it can AirPlay fine.
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the iOS app with a non-cached MP4, using the stock player controls to send it to an Apple TV, then compare with an offline download. No source file or test is named; done means streamed video continues playing over AirPlay without flickering, while the offline case remains functional.
