CMV: The play video/movie button (Triangle) should be shown when the video is paused, and the pause button (Two vertical lines) should be shown when the video is playing.

This is a minor UI thing in video/movie streaming services, but it bugs me for some inexplicable reason. Recently, in streaming services like certain versions of Disney Plus, the pause indicator appears when the video is paused, and the play button appears when the video is playing. Let's call this **Type A**. In many other services, the inverse is true: the play button appears when the video is paused, and so on. Let's call this **Type B**.

The reason why I think Type B is better is because the two buttons act as toggles. When you click the play button triangle, the video should play: the action matches the icon that you clicked. When you click the pause lines, the video should pause. In real life, when you press a labeled button, the action that resembles the label is what follows. 

TLDR; When the play button (Right facing triangle) is visible and you click it, the video should play. When the pause button (Two vertical lines) is visible and you click it, the video should pause. 

I'm open to having my mind changed.

Type B works for pcs tablets and phones where you interact with the screen (finger or mouse). But for TVs type B makes no sense. There is no toggle, you use a dedicated button.
So if your service is mainly targeted for TVs go with type A.
