Ngx Videogular IONIC 6 Video player issue, Video freezes sound continues playing

cordova

I have been plagued by a nasty issue using NGX videogular + Ionic 6 (Angular) on my Android app for more than 2 months now.

In the APP on the device, something really weird happens.

The video plays properly for a few seconds.

After sometime, the video frame freezes completely. The video playing may/not resume. All this while, the audio is playing smoothly. I, initially, was under the impression that the Video was buffering hence the frozen frames. But that cant be so since the audio is streaming smoothly. BY THE WAY, THIS HAPPENS ON A GIGABIT WIFI CONNECTION AS WELL AS 4G NETWORK

However, when the video is playing, if you scroll the page, the video frames play as long as the scroll continues. The moment that we stop the scroll, the video freezes again. All this while, the audio is playing smoothly.
