Playback bar doesn't always show the correct duration of a movie

Server Version#: 1.23.4.4712
Player Version#: 5.17.0

When playing a movie that has multiple copies (for example: A DVD rip and a recorded from live TV version) where the length differs a little, the length of the movie reported in the playback bar may be incorrect…

For example:

  • The rip of my Ex Machina DVD is 1h 48m.
  • The recording from Live TV contains adverts and is a fraction under 2h 10m.

However, the playback bar shows 1:48:00 remaining at the start of the movie and means I cannot fast forward to check out the credits again, in the recorded version, or rewind because I want to re-watch a scene, after the 1h 48m mark.

Unfortunately I have to seek to 1h 48m and wait for the playback to reach the section of the movie I want to watch, which could be 15 minutes away, so it is incredibly frustrating :frowning:

Once playback is past 1h 48m, the position indicator keeps incrementing but the time remaining remains at 0:00.

I see this issue in the Samsung Tizen, XBox One and Plex HTPC clients that I use so assume it affects the other Web TV clients that share the same code base.

I can confirm this is now fixed in 5.23.1 :wink:
