I concur with most said, I'm playing 'Bionic Woman Black Magic' after a search without issue, jumping around FF is a network bandwidth issue. Ditto for the 'Julie London vs. Fabian', jumping around took a 3 sec delay FF or RR (my bandwidth is 25mbs on a 20 year old windows MB) and would have to say Kodi is not an editing deck, works fine for local files, but streaming you will be at the mercy of bandwidth and source limitations.
I don't have this error <general>: CVideoPlayerVideo::OpenStream: Codec id 2 require extradata. nor audio erros, and suggest I should be thankful for my gfx engine (Nvidia 1060)

I'm sorry if my questioning offends the Kodi developers' sensitivities, I'm just trying to solve a problem and don't think a "if you don't like it" response is helpful.

hi barney63,
I had similar problems when using Internet Archive with Kodi 21.1 on Windows 10.
I resolved it by disabling http2 in advancedsettings.xml. This file is located in your Kodi userdata folder. It doesn't exist by default so you may need to create it yourself.
E.g C:\Users\hanx\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\advancedsettings.xml
Add the following lines...
<advancedsettings version="1.0">
<network>
<disablehttp2>true</disablehttp2>
</network>
</advancedsettings>
The setting turns off Multiplexing. Lookup difference between http1 and http2 for better explanation.
Hope this resolves your problem and you can get back to watching some great 70's TV classics.

i'm glad to hear that it's working again for you. It's a simple 1 click addon with great content.
If anyone is having trouble getting Internet Archive working on Ubuntu (which is why I happened to be passing through here) please check that the certificates file 'cacert.pem' exists in /usr/share/kodi/system/certs
i.e. /usr/share/kodi/system/certs/cacert.pem
I copied my windows cacert.pem across to this location and it works like a charm.
