When I play a different video from a playlist for the first time, the video seems to skip the first 1–2 seconds and starts playing from slightly later. This is particularly noticeable when something important happens right at the beginning of the video. As a result, I have to manually drag the playback position all the way back to the very beginning each time. Would it be possible to fix or improve this issue?
