Hey all - Currently running one of the bleeding edge nightlies for Nexus via Libreelec 11 on RPI4. Getting some weird errors where this addon worked previously. If i unpause after jump back it looks like the video then plays at an inconsistent frame rate and drops frames and seems to skip a few ms in videos. The audio and video seem to stutter and the only way to fix is to quit the video fully and then go back in.

Going to disable this for now but thought it'd be good to highlight

Well, it's not this addon per se that is causing your issue - it's more highlighting an issue - i.e. this addon just listens to event and then uses the Kodi standard methods to do a seek e.g. seek(-4) etc. Same method you're probably using in your keymaps for seeking with small-back (seek(-7)) or seek forward etc.

If you're experiencing playback issues after that seek, this addon has zero control over that, and you need to look at LibreElec and/or Kodi for that.

(But TBH not all that surprising that their might be such issues in a pre-alpha stage!).

Yep - disabled the addon and there's still an error so it must be with core Kodi itself.

Hello,

I have been using this addon for a couple of years, across all Leia, Matrix, and now Nexus versions without any issue.
Very useful one !

But since Kodi 20.5 (more precisely since April update from OSMC on my VeroV box) I got issues I had never seen before: on usual pause/resume sequence the video would freeze completely for at least several 10s of seconds (audio sometimes still playing) and does not resume. Most often I can only get out of this situation by stopping the video, and then it restarts from 0....

In the Kodi Log I can see hundreds of errors like :

.................

Tried it on several different movies, always the same. Looks like the seek(-x) used for jumpback is now generating major issues.

If I disable the addon, pause/resume is fully OK and working as expected (but of course no jumpback Sad

)

I reported this in the OSMC Forum as well, when I saw that other users are having issue with skip backwards. Not sure if they use jumpback addon, or onlyy using seek back via the Player/OSD.

Anyone here seeing the same kind of issue and/or having idea how to solve this ?

Sorry, that's definitely an OSMC issue I'm afraid, not much I can do to help you there till they fix things....presumably a by-product of their recent 'sync improvements' - guessing that when the skip happens the AV is measured as so far out of sync it can't work out how to re-sync.

Anyway, well beyond my pay-grade of the scope of this add-on. Can at least tell you it's not happening on other platforms, indeed e.g. on Coreelec the add-on is actually used as a bit of a hack to solve sync/jitter issues after pausing...
