Created attachment 185522 [details] the offending video SUMMARY The attached video works fine when it is the first thing Haruna plays after launching, but if encountered through the playlist, it will very often (not always) pause the playback until manually resumed, despite looping playlist settings. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place the attached video in a folder with no other files. 2. Play the video in Haruna. 3. Ensure the playlist is in specifically "Repeat Playlist" mode. 4. Let the video loop until it stops. OBSERVED RESULT Playback pauses. EXPECTED RESULT Playback loops until interrupted by user. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux hostname 6.16.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 02 Oct 2025 19:26:36 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Curiously, the playlist mode "Repeat item" works as expected. I have multiple videos with this characteristic, but they have nothing obvious in common (with/without audio, different codecs, containers, durations... no obvious red flag in ffprobe). The included video is truncated to fit into the 4mb limit and has the audio stream removed, neither of which changed its behaviour.
Is the video the only one in the playlist or are there more?
Can you check if this fixes the issue? I have reproduced what you explained and this fixed it for me: https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/haruna/-/merge_requests/88

Appears fixed with f5ac42e7aa59f, even for non-single item playlists. Thank you both for your work!
