Description

Seeking between paused states doesn't work well with strictState because seekTo doesn't trigger a state change which is required to resolve a promise.

I have reached out to @YouTubeDev on twitter to open up the conversation: https://twitter.com/ResistDesign/status/824502410815172608

Also, if anyone has any other approaches to solving this, please hit us with them here! :)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the seekTo method and how it interacts with strictState. The issue is that seekTo does not trigger a state change, which prevents promise resolution when strictState is enabled. Look into the YouTube IFrame API documentation and the library's source code to find where the promise is awaited and how to force a state change after seeking.
