Kodi 20 crashes when skipping backwards when timeshifting

[mattr254]

Using IPTV Simple on Kodi 20 on a RPI 4 with RPI OS 64-bit. Watching a stream , pausing, resuming, and skipping forward will work but if I go back at all Kodi will freeze and crash. Keep getting the error in the log
"error : AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: LoadSegment - segment load error, packet index -1725095486 does not equal expected value of 1 with a total packet count of: 1241" all the way to "error : AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: LoadSegment - segment load error, packet index 126 does not equal expected value of 1240 with a total packet count of: 1241"
Then it either completely freezes up or it aborts Kodi. I've tried changing the timeshift values but nothing seems to improve it.

Hi, can you test on a another platform and reproduce?

There are a few fixes lined up that may help. Will post here when they get released.

I think the issue was the steam and app (iptv simple client) that didn't support it. I thought the time shifting was stored locally and it wasn't. Moving to TVheadened the issue was resolved, which I'm sure also uses ffmpeg direct.
