How to fix Java.Lang.AbstractMethodError with androidx.media3.common.Player$Listener.onPositionDiscontinuity in MAUI Android?

I've been working on this app that is required to display video, and I've chosen to use MediaElement. The element is initialized fine, but if I do anything besides play or pause the video, like moving the slider, I receive this error:

Java.Lang.AbstractMethodError: 'abstract method "void androidx.media3.common.Player$Listener.onPositionDiscontinuity(androidx.media3.common.Player$PositionInfo, androidx.media3.common.Player$PositionInfo, int)"'

This being a Media3 issue, the error doesn't stop the iOS and Windows versions from working. I have found this link, https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/issues/2824, which gave me the idea that it could be a version issue between the related media3 libraries and the MediaElement library, but when I try to upgrade the Media3 libraries it fails because it downgrades Microsoft.Maui.Controls to 9.0.50, and MediaElement requires 9.0.90 or newer. Here are my dotnet relevant packages for reference:

    > CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement              6.1.2       6.1.2   
    > Microsoft.Maui.Controls                         9.0.90      9.0.90    
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media                                     1.7.0.8        
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Common                             1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Container                          1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Database                           1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.DataSource                         1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Decoder                            1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.ExoPlayer                          1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.ExoPlayer.Dash                     1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.ExoPlayer.Hls                      1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.ExoPlayer.Rtsp                     1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Extractor                          1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Session                            1.5.0          
   > Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.Ui                                 1.5.0 

I'm fully open to implementing it myself through Media3.ExoPlayer, but I wanted to see if anyone out there would be able to help with this issue before I take on that task. Here is a sample XAML file that causes this issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2022/maui/toolkit"
             x:Class="Test.TestPage"
             Title="TestPage">
    <VerticalStackLayout>
        <Label 
            Text="Welcome to .NET MAUI!"
            VerticalOptions="Center" 
            HorizontalOptions="Center" />

        <toolkit:MediaElement x:Name="videoview" Source="https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4"
              ShouldShowPlaybackControls="True"
              ShouldAutoPlay="False"
              Aspect="AspectFill"
              HeightRequest="300"
              />
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</ContentPage>

I tried to update related Media3 libraries, downgrade MediaElements, switch to .NET 10, switching to LibVLCSharp but that had different issues.

Steps to reproduce:

Make a new Maui App, add CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement latest version 6.1.2, transitive Xamarin.AndroidX.Media3.* packages will be added as 1.5.0 automatically, create a MediaElement as shown in the .xml above, results in error. Using .NET 9.
