Hmm, I will try to move my .kodi folder and start over to see if the issues ared fixed for me… As for now things look the same. However, as I’m trying a new provider, I saw that some h264 streams are now working and interesting enough, the ones that do not work are encoded with AAC. This led me to:

closed 12:28PM - 30 Dec 21 UTC
Resolution: Fixed
## Bug report
### Describe the bug
Here is a clear and concise description of … what the problem is:
I installed the new kodi matrix (V19 release version) and when I do a fast forward (x2 - X32) and then stop the fast forwarding and go back to normal speed the picture freezes and nothing is happing any more.
Some extra info: I did a clean install of Kodi matrix no extra plugins and default skin. Only setting that I changed was sound PassThrough (tried it with both on and off and result gave both the same issue)
The issue only occur when the movie or tv-show has AAC (Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity) sound. When the movie/tv-show has Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio and then fast forwarding the issue does not occur.
So it looks to be related to the AAC sound (numer of channels doesn't matter).
Installation was done on both Normal Nvidia Shield TV (2017) and the Pro (2019). On both the issue was present. When I look in the log

Team Kodi will consider your problem report however, we will not make any promises the problem will be solved.*
There are some threads in different plugins around this but I’m not sure if any conclusion came out of it. Anyways, hopping that a clean kodi setup fixes this for me as well.
