Full Version: Pause functionality removed in some instances using Kodi 18 Leia

I've noticed that in some addons and also when viewing strm files the OSD just displays the Stop button with no option to pause, also the pause button on the keyboard/remote does nothing. In previous versions of Kodi this limitation was not there & pausing for 5 seconds or so would help to alleviate any buffering.

Is there any particular reason this was changed & also is there a way to get it back? To me it seems pointless to remove this functionality for the end user.

See debug log below demonstrating this using a simple strm file.
