- [Android] Player with the specific Video clip crashes on "/apex/com.android.runtime/lib/bionic/libc.so (__memcpy_a53+96)" when the video is bundled with other video clips and Codec is set to VP8

Resolution Note:
Avast flags as suspicious any usigned app that comes from unkown sources. The issue has been observed as well when installing an empty Android Studio project, hence this is not Unity related.
