No other ffmpeg based media player crashes with the same file, not even
ffplay, so this is a bug in MediaPlayer.
Probably happens since the switch from ffmpeg 0.1x. Unlike ffmpeg 0.1, the
current ffmpeg 4.x provides the cover art as video stream, but MediaPlayer
can't handle it well, and mostly just crashes. After stripping the cover
art like
```ffmpeg -i tagged.mp3 -vn -codec:a copy -map_metadata -1 out.mp3```
no crash happens, so it is definetely the cover art what triggers the bug.
I will attach a debug report about a crash happens reproduceably, 100%. If
needed i can provide the file too.
ffmpeg devs said the bug could be somewhere in
_HandleNewVideoFrameAndUpdateSystemState
