FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
This version of Windows is running as a virtual machine in VMWare fusion on Mac OS X El Capitan

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I play a video using Media/MediaPlayer/MediaView, then pause the video, then continue playing, the video freezes.

Since this was happening in a VM, I took the JAR for the app and ran it directly on my Mac (no VM) on the exact same version of Java and still get the same result.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start playing a video in a MediaPlayer. Call the pause() method. Call the play() method. Video restarts for less than a second then freezes every time.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The video should continue playing until pause() is called again or the end of the video is reached.
ACTUAL -
Video freezes

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
