@postsolar commented on GitHub (Dec 25, 2025):

Likely related, seeking also makes it "freeze" (slider and time label wont update), and even track change won't unfreeze it. ironbar reload resets it to pre-freeze state. Tested with Brave.

Edit: not really related, seeking is easy to fix without affecting this other issue.

Edit: ah original issue mentioned it too, sorry read too fast
