Playback resets to beginning if back is pressed before media loads (MPV player)

[shaunbharat]

Describe your issue

Using the MPV player, when starting the playback of any episode with watch progress and pressing the back button before the episode loads, the episode's watch progress is erased.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start the playback of any episode with watch progress.
2. There is a short moment where the watch progress is reset to the beginning, then the media loads and the watch progress is set to its proper position (where it was left off the last time the episode was watched). To reproduce, before the media loads and while the watch progress is still at the beginning temporarily, press the back button in the top left.
3. Reload Findroid's main page (this is necessary to see the updated watch progress since it isn't dynamically updated). Observe that the watch progress for the episode was cleared, and pressing play on the episode will start it back from the beginning.

Expected behavior

I expected my watch progress to stay the same, even after stopping the playback of the episode immediately after starting it.
