Same issue here, but dont resolved with PR above. My suspicion is that it is related to this part of the code:

react-native-video/ios/Video/Features/RCTPlayerOperations.swift

Lines 131 to 147 in ad52668

	static func seek(player: AVPlayer, playerItem: AVPlayerItem, paused: Bool, seekTime: Float, seekTolerance: Float, completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
	let timeScale = 1000
	let cmSeekTime: CMTime = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(Float64(seekTime), preferredTimescale: Int32(timeScale))
	let current: CMTime = playerItem.currentTime()
	let tolerance: CMTime = CMTimeMake(value: Int64(seekTolerance), timescale: Int32(timeScale))
	guard CMTimeCompare(current, cmSeekTime) != 0 else {
	// skip if there is no diff in current time and seek time
	return
	}
	if !paused { player.pause() }
	player.seek(to: cmSeekTime, toleranceBefore: tolerance, toleranceAfter: tolerance, completionHandler: { (finished: Bool) in
	completion(finished)
	})
	}

Furthermore, this seek happens when I use startPosition props feature (I uses the "keep watching" feature), so the player is starting in position but paused. Whats the consequence if I remove this line if !paused { player.pause() } . Why is this in the ode?

Thanks!
