I’ve just tested every version between 8.11 and 8.16. I uninstalled each version before installing the next. I used the same five episodes, skipping to ~20 seconds from the end each time then allowing it to play to the end, letting the countdown finish and starting the next episode. This is what I’ve recorded …
8.11 - works’ish
8.12 - initial error. subsequent plays go to blurry screen (countdown in background?) before starting next episode. black screen for first 10 seconds or so before playing normally.
8.12.3 - initially works normally with countdown. subsequent plays go to blurry screen (countdown in background?) before starting next episode. black screen for first 10 seconds or so before playing normally.
8.12.4 - initially works normally with countdown. next play shows countdown before disappearing to blurry background then playing with black screen for a few seconds before playing normally. subsequent plays go to blurry screen (countdown in background?) before starting next episode. black screen for first 10 seconds or so before playing normally.
8.13 - different fault on each play
8.13.1 - pretty much works as expected except with the first 10 seconds blank on subsequent plays.
8.13.2 - same as 8.13.1 except sometimes starts blank, sometimes starts normal.
8.14 - same as 8.13.1
8.14.1 - same as 8.13.2
8.15 - crashes
8.15.1 - same as 8.13.2
8.15.2 - same as 8.13.1
8.16 - introduction of the stretching/crashing bug
Although still buggy, I would reccommend 8.15.2 as probably the best version to install to get around the stretching bug. It may still crash occasionally but most of the time it seems stable in my testing.
