Dude i don't think it's a bug.
While using kodi 15 u can pause the video u r playing and minimize kodi or switch to another app. For example playstore. And comes back to kodi and continue the movie.
Now on jarvis if u do the same thing it quits the video and goes back to the movies list.

It's not a kodi problem.
It's by design.
It didn't do it in kodi 15 because it wasn't designed to.
It does it in kodi 16 because it is designed to.
Not weird at all.

Use
SPMC (wiki). The problem is fixed there.

I heard this one before, but why not fixed in kodi ?

I doesn't need to be fixed. It is by design. SPMC decided they did not want to go down that route. If you want your video playback to behave that way you need to switch to SPMC.
Sort of. SPMC does go down that route, but SPMC is smarter about when to use "MediaCodec (Surface)" or not by default. The fact that video stopped instead of paused wasn't specifically desired when "MediaCodec (Surface)" was added to Kodi, but it is how Surface works.
The only reason SPMC's fix is not in Kodi is because of the conflict between certain Team Kodi members leading Koying to not want to PR the change back into Kodi (where it is likely that there would be further disagreement and conflict). The change is being PR'ed by another developer at the moment, but it's not known if that specific PR will be accepted or not, or if some additional adjustments will be needed.
Even if it's not seen as a bug, the behavior is something that should be "fixed"/improved upon/whatever.

Thanks mate for the info.
Will try spmc, but would love to keep kodi after i did a lot of customizations in it.
Really kodi members should fix that cuz it's so annoying to quit the video. Especially when you are watching something with big size.

The solution for is un install kodi and use spmc.
Everything works fine
