Hi! I need to have a "pause" functionality in my application -- simply freeze frame and stop playing, and after un-pausing stream should continue from the current time point. But VLC seems to make time-shifting instead, which is pretty cool, but not the kind of behaviour I want. I can just use libvlc_media_player_stop, but then, "regular" movies are played from the beginning if I use libvlc_media_player_stop. Is there the way to disable this (unwanted) time-shift "feature"?

Honestly, I don't understand at all. Timeshifting is essentially pausing a (live) stream. VLC does not do timeshifting for local medias (it just stops reading until playback is resumed).
