Description

Steps to reproduce

When the video I am watching gets the halfway it starts buffering a lot or when it's almost there when the show or movie is over and I am sorry to say this I have anxiety and this is what's helping me because other streaming apps have commercials and ads

Expected behavior

The stream or whatever I'm watching should go all the way till the end of the movie or show

Actual behavior

When I'm watching something when it gets to be almost over it starts buffering a lot like The Simpsons

Research direction

Start by reproducing playback on Cloudstream 4.8.0 (commit 8bdc599) on Android 16, checking behavior around the halfway point and near the end of a video. Capture useful Logcat output and compare whether the issue occurs across streams; done means playback reaches the end without repeated buffering.
