2 years ago Tested on Ubuntu with Surface Pro 7 and can't reproduce it with Doodstream/Xstreamcdn. Have you tested to reproduce it on other device? Does changing cache size help? https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

2 years ago I don't have an alternate device to test with. I'll see if cache size helps.
Anecdotally, I started noticing this rewind/ff behavior after updating from Kodi 18 to 19 - but that coincided with a change in hardware from an amlogic based setup box to the raspberry pi4 - so I can't be sure what specific change (or combination of changes) triggers the problem. I think I originally noticed the problem with one of Majide's plugins (VIKI or OnDramaNice?) (which I no longer use - it's been too long ago to remember exactly).

2 years ago I think the cache change is helping! I'll continue to test over the next few days, but the following setting seems to at least have made the simple REW or FF by 2x or 4x work reliably in my early testing.
<cache>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<memorysize>139460608</memorysize>
<readfactor>20</readfactor>
</cache>I'm still seeing the plugin crash if I try to FF 32x (after forwarding about 20min worth of video, I get the following error):

I'll experiment with larger cache sizes - maybe that will solve this too!

1 year ago Closing since this seems to be related to hardware.
Describe the bug
When rewinding or fast forwarding, video eventually stops updating and just "freezes". The time counter continues to advance. When PLAY is resumed, audio and video are out of sync (audio starts playing, video remains frozen for a while - sometimes eventually starts playing in sync). STOP the stream and resume seems to be the only reliable way to resume playback after one of these fast forward episodes.
Does not seem to depend on the proxy I choose (mp4upload, doodstream both fail in same way).
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
The problem seems to happen more quickly at higher FF rates (16x, 32x), but I've seen it happen at 4x too.
Expected behavior Video should update itself while fast forwarding. Video and audio should both play in sync when resuming PLAY after a fast forward.
Log file
This is during an attempt to rewind about 10s :
Next set of logs is after pressing PLAY:
Additional context I'm not sure how to best diagnose this in order to pinpoint where the problem lies. Other video on demand plugins (e.g. Netflix and PlutoTV) seem to behave normally, so I suspect a problem with the dramacool plugin or one of its dependencies? How can I help get to the bottom of this?
