Buffering issue with ExoPlayer on Android

Current behavior

Sometimes when I do seek(), the video gets stuck and the onBuffering event says isBuffering is true. Then after about five minutes or so onBuffering says isBuffering is false, and the video resumes playing. This is with both mp4 files and mp3 audio files, but only when they are being played from an online location. When local files are played it does not occur.

I have tried with files from our own server and to test I also tried with this mp3: https://www.mfiles.co.uk/mp3-downloads/chopin-nocturne-op9-no2.mp3

In LogCat I see this message every time it occurs:

D/ReactExoplayerView: onStateChanged: playWhenReady=true, playbackState=buffering W/audio_hw_generic: Not supplying enough data to HAL, expected position 21225938 , only wrote 20695680

That last line I only see when the bug occurs, the first one is normal.

Reproduction steps

Call seek() repeatedly, i.e by sliding a progress bar back and forward.

Expected behavior

The video probably buffering for a moment,
