Active MediaPlayer is paused when another MediaPlayer begins playing

[tejasXR]

Describe the issue When two MediaPlayers are active in a scene and both are set to AutoPlay and AutoOpen, only one of them will start playing. Furthermore, when MediaPlayer 'A' is playing and a second/alternate MediaPlayer 'B' starts playback, MediaPlayer A will pause playback.

Your Setup (please complete the following information):

• Unity version: 2022.3.40f1
• AVPro Video version (number and edition (trial/core/ultra/enterprise)): Core Edition 3.09
• Operating system version: SQ3A.220605.009.A1
• Device model: MetaQuest 3
• Video specs (resolution, frame-rate, codec, file size): 1080p, 60fps, using AVPro 'Cones' and 'RenderHeaders' sample files

To Reproduce

1. Open the Demo_MediaPlayer scene
2. Create another media player canvas with a separate media reference. I'm using the Sample-Local-MP4-RenderHeads media reference for one player and the Sample-Local-MP4-Cones media reference for the other media player.
3. Set both media players to AutoPlay and AutoOpen
4. Deploy the scene on a Quest 3 device
5. Only one media player will start, while the other will only show its first frame

Logs No error, info, or warning logs appear.

Temporary Workaround I found that using the native Media Player video API instead of the default Exo Player temporarily solves this issue

The MediaPlayer Demo UI was never designed to be duplicated, though I don't see a reason it could not be. Have you re-targeted all the components that have a reference to a MediaPlayer inside the UI structure?

I am struggling to reproduce it here. If you can package up your project and send it over to unitysupport@renderheads.com with the subject '#1987' then I can take a look for you.

Hey there, I'm sorry I haven't been able to package up an isolated project with this issue. Let me get to it early next week when I'm back at my desk.
