When playing video's in a playlist, the next video may give a black screen while the audio is playing

[CypherNL]

Device

Sony KD-55XF9005 using Android TV 8.0. Standard quality is 1080p60 WebM.

Version

• NewPipe 0.19.3

Steps to reproduce the bug

This problem does not occur consistently. So have patience reproducing this issue.

I've discovered this issue by watching the playlist 'How to get good' by 'Rocket Jump Ninja'.

1. Open NewPipe on your Android TV device
2. Search for a playlist on YouTube, so press on '...' and select playlist
3. Open a playlist in the results.
4. Click on the 'Play All' button above the video's.
5. Let the video playing and let NewPipe go to the next video.
6. If the next video plays with video and audio, let that video play through the end and let NewPipe play the next video in the playlist.

Expected behavior

The next video should be played with no visual issues.

Actual behaviour

The video shows a black screen while the audio is playing. It may show a selection square (it selects the pause button). Seeking back or choosing a different quality video solves this issue temporary until the next video plays.

@CypherNL Still a problem in 0.20.0?

[CypherNL]

The problem still exists in 0.20.0 after playing through the same playlist as i have listed in the issue. I got this issue twice so far.

I also see that when you watched a video with a black screen it doesn't go to the next video of the playlist.
