SUMMARY
If I'm in the middle of a podcast and pause it for a while, like a half hour or
an hour, when I unpause it, it will hitch a few times before it resumes
properly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play a podcast for about 5 minutes. I typically listen to NextLander.
2. Pause the podcast and wait for a half hour to an hour. I'm not sure exactly
how much time is required to reproduce, but let's say a significant length of
time beyond a few minutes.
3. Unpause the podcast and continue listening.
OBSERVED RESULT
The podcast resumes from where it left off, but it will hitch with
approximately two gaps of silence before it returns to normal.
EXPECTED RESULT
The podcast resumes smoothly from where it left off.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 24.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On a previous installation of an older version of KDE, I was able to get around
this by setting the playback backend to GStreamer rather than VLC, but there
was no way to make that selection permanent, so I'd have to set it every time I
booted the program, and on a fresh installation of Kubuntu 24.04, the option
isn't there at all, perhaps because I'm missing a dependency somewhere. I
believe this is from the Ubuntu/Kubuntu repositories, not Flatpak.
