It used to work on the 6.8.0 version. When I started the player the video (from the URL) is played immediately after the start. 

It works well on desktop (ubuntu).

Currently, on 6.8.1 the control button state looks like the video is being played (pause icon), but the video is not played - I need to click the button to start it. It happens also when I load new video file (via open file). 

It affects the 'older' QML player, which I attached a picture of.
