Issues with inconsistent playtime tracking on Android 14

[Jasper-Ben]

Since switching to Android 14, I see inconsistency with "playtime tracking" (lacking a better word) in DSub2000, as well as the original upstream.

With many (if not most) audio files the audio will play fine but the playtime bar will jump back and forth between the last few seconds. So if I play an audio file, the playtime bar will jump between 0:01-0:02. I can still use the playtime bar to skip forward, but the same thing will happen then, e.g. jumping between 0:41-0:42.

This gets especially annoying with long audio files such as audio books or podcasts, since stopping and resuming playback will resume at the currently shown playtime. So I could be listening to a podcast for 48 minutes and on pause and resume the playback will start again at 0:01 (or at whatever time I previously skipped to).

I have a Samsung Phone on Android 14 and cannot reproduce this. I tried:

1. play a file
2. pause the player
3. kill the player
4. start the player
5. start playback

playback resumes at the exact second that I stopped in at (2)

I have seen similar behavior from the old DSUB when the server was transcoding, are you using a transcoding profile?

Could be, haven't touched the server in a while :D but I don't think that this is the case, since it worked flawless on my old android 11 phone before switching recently. Will check though, thanks @khers

I observed some time jumping when DSub switches from streaming to the cached copy. Can you check whether the issue is actually, that your files are downloaded again?
