i concur, i suspected this scenario several posts ago

barney, can we eliminate the addon and simply download the file from the page

and perhaps report the speed at which it downloads at to also diagnose connectivity issues to the site

since there are variables here we can try to eliminate network or video hardware individually

The video from the link you posted (Stump the Stars - Nina Foch) plays perfectly (start, jump forward, backwards, close) as did the Stump the Stars episode I posted.  They play fine from the website for me but not the addon.

As for the speed you're getting a little out of my league, if you offer instruction I'll get the info.  Thanks

well that at least shows the file isn't corrupted in some manner and the hardware is capable of playing the formats (container, audio+video codec)

i don't have anything specific in mind, just the downloads window on your browser should have shown at what speed it was able to download at
since you didn't report errors in downloading it i assume there were none (outside of kodi)

------

from here i don't have any other suggestions because i don't know how kodi is playing the file when "streaming" it, it looks like the site is disconnecting abruptly and kodi isn't recovering

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 get that but it doesn't explain why other VOD addons play and jump around fine (even when slowed by a gimmick)

Apples & Oranges, suggest that you investigate External players (wiki) and install one of the players that works to your liking.

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.

Truly solving this, will likely come down to coding and unless there's a tsunami of users clambering for attention, it's going to be a work-around.

That's what the suggestion to use a work-around to use an external player was all about. In that reference we load up a player that you claim works, within the Kodi framework and all it's library capabilities and features. In no way did I reference "if you don't like it"; again we're going down the path of discovery, rarely does a developer take time to initiate, but in this case the effort has been made, and until your suggestion of 'sensitivities', I saw no attitude.

Should you run into issues with this work-around, the suspect becomes more evident that aging hardware is showing. If in the past, a legacy version of the software was fully functional, then that would be the approach to look at. As stated, I'm using a 20 year old MB with a modern gfx engine and have no issues with this add-on.
