Editor and Build window freezes when playing from shared network folder and connection breaks down

[StefanOber]

I need to play several videos from a shared network folder over wifi on Windows. It's one main video and a few preview videos. When I click on a preview video, the main video shows the content. In case the network connection is lost I want to show a message. But when that happens the Editor and also the build just freezes till the connection comes back.

Environment: Unity 2020.3.12f1 AVPro Core Windows 10 Video-Specs: 1920x1080px, 25fps frame-rate, mp4 files, Size: 300-400 MB each

To Reproduce

1. Load videos from a shared network folder and play it in AVPro
2. Close connection while it is playing

Just noticed: if I wait long enough (a few minutes), the application comes back to life. Which is enough for my case.
