Any updates on this issue?

I'm facing the same problem, but only for small audios(10s).

I'm also facing this issue. My files are stored in a CDN. All the files are MP4 format videos. Occasionally it works, other times it doesn't. It generally works fine in the front end of the site, but when you go to the admin section, there is a video preview using the exact same set up and here the progress bar generally doesn't load fully and you can't skip into the video. I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

It may not be Plyr, but the format of the file. I've been working on creating my own music and converting it from 3ga/m4a to WAV to AAC using NAudio 2.2.1. I found that if the source is mono, the formatting of the file that could make it look twice as a large than it really is. This makes the progress bar jump to the beginning when you click over 50% because there is no content.

The following code fixed my MP3 issue by setting the format to 48000 and 2 channels.

NB: Not using Plyr, but just the default player, would cause the progress bar to be off on the length of the music.

using NAudio.MediaFoundation;
using NAudio.Utils;
using NAudio.Wave;

// Create the MP3 file
// https://www.markheath.net/post/naudio-mediafoundationencoder
using (var reader = new MediaFoundationReader(decompressedFile))
{
    var mediaType = MediaFoundationEncoder.SelectMediaType(
        AudioSubtypes.MFAudioFormat_MP3,
        WaveFormat.CreateIeeeFloatWaveFormat(48000, 2),
        0); // Creates as 96kbps, 0=Select lowest possible bitrate

    using (var enc = new MediaFoundationEncoder(mediaType))
    {
        enc.Encode(mp3File, reader);
    }
}
