Using libVLC 4.0.0: after pausing a mediafile (either URL or file), the internal "position counter" seems to be still running. Because when I call libvlc_media_player_get_time() in a paused player, the returned value is still incrementing continuously. Is this known/documented behaviour? By the way: when resuming playing, the playing continues from the original (paused) position, which is good of course. So the only issue is my position counter is incrementing even when the player is paused after calling libvlc_media_player_pause()

libvlc4 is for testing only because it's far from be stable

That is good to know. I must say that libVLC4 was behaving quite good. But I will revert to version 3.0.20, just to be sure that no hidden problems will appear. Thanks!
