I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested and confirmed that the issue exists with the latest release version or newer.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Start by reproducing the issue with the attached downloaded Twitch VoD on mpv v0.41.0, using the frame-by-frame reverse controls and the supplied log as context. Trace the reverse-seeking entry point from the playback behavior; done means reverse frame stepping continues through the VoD instead of stopping after a short time.
