Dismissing Siri via tapping (as opposed to timeout/voice/button) leaves the iOS AV subsystem inoperable for a short while afterwards. Now detecting the end of this prolonged AV interruption before resuming paused video playback.
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project "FModVideoDemo.zip"
2. Build and Deploy the Scene "SampleScene" to a device
3. Activate Siri
4. Tap on the screen to dismiss Siri
5. If the Video does not freeze, repeat from step 3
Expected result: The Video resumes after Siri is dismissed
Actual result: The Video freezes
iPad Air 4th Gen (iOS 14.7.1) (reproduction is less consistent due to how tapping to dismiss Siri works)
Did not reproduce on:
iPhone 6 (iOS 12.4.8) (Activating Siri takes up the entire screen preventing tapping on the screen to dismiss it)
Notes:
Most often freezes after the first try, however, due to the way Siri works on some devices, might require to attempt activating and dismissing it multiple times
Dismissing Siri by voice, or by clicking the Home button does not reproduce the issue
