Confirming the same experience with similar entries on identical hardware and software, but different video.

Thanks for opening an issue, it seems like YouTube has rolled back a change they did a while ago that allowed to skip more precisely, down to the millisecond. Now it only allows second precision, which can cause these sorts of loops. Maybe implementing a minimum skip time could fix this issue

This could be related to #145

+1, I get this issue occasionally, especially when there's a short segment at the very start of a video (start time of the segment is 0:00). I think that the lack of precise time-setting in the client is part of the issue, I think that adding something like a half second or rounding up the end segment timestamp (maybe both) would probably help?

Any update on implementing a fix?

Fast forwarding about 10 seconds seems to get the video out of the loop, but yeah it is definitely an issue. Works perfect otherwise.

I haven't had the time to look into it

[dmunozv04]

I think I've found a solution for the loops at the start of videos (will update with a PR soon)

[dmunozv04]

Should be fixed now on the latest version
