When I use fast-forward actions (skip or scrubbing at speeds from x1 to x4) on a video playing from a WebDAV server, playback pauses for a long time (10–15 seconds), then the buffering wheel appears as if the video is loading. However, when playback resumes, it jumps to the end of the buffered segme…

This seems to affect also hard drive connected through SMB… but since the buffering is much faster, the impact is less obvious.

This issue is real pain. We just discovered that restarting a movie stopped in the middle won’t work neither. The file is being re buffered from the beginning instead of where it had been quitted. In my case a video is about 20-30 GB (encoded at about 20mib/s) … and my internet bandwidth is 31mib/s…

Here’s a screen capture that illustrates the playback issue I’m experiencing with Infuse. Context: I’ve watched this same video multiple times before using Infuse, and seeking forward worked flawlessly. Now, the behavior has changed. Steps shown in the recording: I reset the watched flag to en…

No change with 8.3.3. It looks like I’m the only one reporting this issue, and I understand why that means there’s basically no support for it. That suggests the problem isn’t with Infuse itself, but maybe with my settings or data. Still, I haven’t been able to fix it on my own. At this point, Inf…

After two months dealing with Firecore’s support, I honestly don’t see any real effort to fix this issue. Either I’m the only one affected—which I seriously doubt—or they just don’t care because there aren’t enough WebDAV users with slow internet and high-bitrate videos to matter (which are the 3 ma…
