It seem that media player have a tolerence problem with some file
downloaded with YouTubeDL or any web based downloader that may use it as a
back end.
The problem is that certain video can't be played again once they reach
the end of the video. Everything is fine if i download a file that is a
max 720p video and i can click play again and it will replay but if i
select the version that is 480p, then the only way i have to replay it is
to close the mediaplayer and reclick the file (making sure that the
resume:ask everytime option is enabled or it will start stuck at the end).
If the max size (the native one) is 480 or even old video at 240p, as long
as it is the max one available, it work normally. Only selecting lower
res option than the max available seem to cause the problem. So YouTubeDL
temper with the file structure a bit in that case.
Other haiku video player don't have that problem and can play any versions
of the mentioned video. I guess the real problem is with YouTubeDL and
perhaps a fix could be upstreamed to them but it would be nice to have a
more tolerant mediaplayer in the meantime.
