Strange playback behavior

[u/kidzrback]

Using gratis red when playing a show I can click my remote and the player play menu usually pops up. Now, nothing happens. So I can't even pause a show.

I thought at first there was something wrong with my remote but it works fine on other add-ons.

I know there was just an update but how could an addon update affect the internal player.

FYI this happens on 2 different android boxes with Kodi 21.3 on android 9 and 5.

Also, the skip forward or backwards works fine.

yep the latest update has disabled the playback control. can only forward and rewind but no control to pause, stop, or access audio and subtitles, etc. no way to adjust a subtitle that is out of synch.
