Another "it doesn't instantly start playing from that timecode you just selected" is to jump to a nearby I-frame, and just start playback from there, instead of going exactly to the selected timecode. (How well this works depends on how frequent the I-frames are in your downloaded file. In the 90s it wasn't uncommon for I-frames to be minutes apart, but less so now.)
- jlawson 7y agoI've noticed my video player does this, but only when using the "5 seconds forward/back" arrow key commands. Tap the left arrow and you end up skipping back to the same moment over and over, even if you wait a bit. Interestingly, YouTube doesn't display this behavior. I find it kind of annoying, to be honest. Sometimes there are reasons I want to go exactly the same duration back/forward, every time.
