Seekbar timeline freezes, video still plays

Summary

I am encountering a frozen seekbar when I am streaming from my azure blob storage. The Video still plays until the end. At the halfway mark (15 seconds of 30 in this case) the position in the timeline and time stay the same. This only happens with these URLs, other streams are fine. (This for example: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4)

URL to test: https://storage.googleapis.com/moretesting/B0C554314DB0-dcc74a22dd030c5c9c34345d80c0147d.mp4

I have tested streaming the file on other platforms which worked fine.

The downloaded file plays fine without freezing.

What is the current bug behavior?

Position and time does not get updated after 15 seconds of playtime.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The position and time should match the time in the shown video it's full playtime.

Does it work on other plaforms? Does it work with the official VLC apps?

It does not work with the vlc desktop app (windows or mac).

Mobile libvlcsharp does not work: LibVLCSharp#459 (closed)

This website plays the stream fine: https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/test-your-streaming-url.html

Relevant logs and/or screenshots
