[Bug]: [Android] playableDuration in onProgress exhibits erratic behavior (flickering values)

[weiningtry7]

What happened?

I am experiencing an issue on Android where the bufferDuration value provided by the onProgress callback is inconsistent. As the video plays, the bufferDuration does not monotonically increase; instead, it frequently jumps down, causing the buffer progress bar in my UI to flicker or visually regress.

I am using bufferDuration / duration to calculate the buffer progress. Since bufferDuration occasionally reports lower values than previous calls, the UI state becomes unstable.

VideoHeader.tsx:423 >>>>>>>>> _onProgress <<<<<<<<<<
VideoHeader.tsx:424 data.currentTime::8.159 data.bufferDuration 0.6069999999999993
VideoHeader.tsx:423 >>>>>>>>> _onProgress <<<<<<<<<<
VideoHeader.tsx:424 data.currentTime::8.403 data.bufferDuration 0.36299999999999955
VideoHeader.tsx:423 >>>>>>>>> _onProgress <<<<<<<<<<
VideoHeader.tsx:424 data.currentTime::8.651 data.bufferDuration 0.4580000000000002

Steps to reproduce

1. Play a video on an Android device.
2. Listen to the onProgress event.
