@kelson42 I did manage to test the scenario you mentioned earlier:

have the video pre-loaded (on a slower network - in my case wifi was enough for this)
before the content is fully loaded, press play, and quickly seek to the end of the video Result: The video continues playing the content that was already loaded, but in a "fast forward" way, with playback speed of ~2x. Once it "catches up" with the content loading, or if I seek again (eg. into the middle of the video), everything returns to normal, and works as expected.
