Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Android 15 behavior: play and pause a provider video, leave Cloudstream for 10–15 seconds, then return to the app. No files, tests, or entry points are named, and the issue provides no logcat output, so trace the player and app-background lifecycle first. Done means the paused player remains available and can resume after returning to the app.
