Description Darin McBride 2016-01-10 15:10:52 UTC

I've encountered this before (somewhere around 4.7), opened bug 281618, it got fixed ... and it seems to be back.  When I restart a video, it has lost track of its current position.

I'm using KDE 15.08, but with 4.14 it was fine.  I may need to downgrade dragon for this.

Please change your phonon backend to the vlc one and check if that fixes it. I am pretty sure this is a phonon backend problem (still).

Comment 2 Darin McBride 2016-01-11 14:31:23 UTC

"Phonon VLC" is the only backend that shows up in my KDE system settings, so I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm using :)  I don't even have any other backend installed.

Ah, try with gstreamer then please.

Comment 4 Darin McBride 2016-01-12 16:34:52 UTC

My apologies.

After a debacle involving nvidia-drivers-368.16 forcing a downgrade and reboot, this problem has gone away (still using vlc, mind you).  I don't know what caused it originally, but it has disappeared.  There are other problems, which deserve separate reports, but this one seems gone.
