Affected version

0.28.7

Steps to reproduce the bug

The watch count shown on the History page increases automatically when video playback stops because of a network interruption.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any video and start playback. (I tested this using a YouTube video )
2. Wait until the History page shows the expected watch count (for example, "1 view").
3. Disable the network connection while the video is playing.
4. Wait until the buffered content is exhausted and playback stops because no more data can be loaded. Do not manually replay, reopen, or close the video.
5. Return to the History page, only looking at the 'views' or 'view' count.

Expected behavior

The watch count should not increase, because the user did not start a new viewing session or reopen the video.

Actual behavior

The watch count increases by one automatically after playback stops due to the network interruption.

For example:

• Before network interruption: "1 view"
• After playback stops because of network loss: "2 views","3 views",..... It increases automatically every some time.

Note:

• No manual replay or reopening of the video
• The issue is reproducible every time on my device.
