TrackPlayer.seekTo broken on livestream with latest iOS 17.3 and iOS 17.4

[DennisdeWitNL]

Describe the Bug When using TrackPlayer.seekTo(buffer) on a livestream, the stream restarts a few times and then the player eventually dies out.

Steps To Reproduce

• Set up a livestream (Icecast will do)
• Start the stream
• Set RemotePlay Event to TrackPlayer.seekTo(buffer)
• Stream will restart a few times and then dies out.
• This also happens when setting seekTo to other values, such as (10).

Code To Reproduce

TrackPlayer.addEventListener(Event.RemotePlay, () => {
    console.log("Playing to:", buffered);
    TrackPlayer.seekTo(buffered);
    TrackPlayer.play();
  });

Replicable on Example App? Yes. And I see this issue too on all the other apps where I use the TrackPlayer.seekTo(buffer) command on.

What OS are you running? Tested against iOS 17.3 and iOS 17.4.

I have no experience with SwiftAudioEx, so I don't know exactly how to solve it. All I know is that seekTo() is bugged.

[DennisdeWitNL]

With 4.1.1, when using seekTo(buffered - 1), it works fine. With seekTo(buffered) it still dies on a livestream.

Closed. Do NOT use addEventListener inside of App.js, you should use it as a separate function! Otherwise it will fire in a loop and crash RNTP.
