I can replicate playback shutdown while playing an flv by using any of these steps:
1. move slider
2. use fast forward button
3. use right arrow (keyboard)
I used #1 to produce the text below (abbreviated since it exceeded max. message size).
I see where this has been a problem as far back as v0.8 (2007). I hope there's a workaround in the works, as I have the entire collection of my favourite series in flv.
Thanks for taking a look at this.
