A pain on my butt the past few months on the last few revisions of VLC players is the problem of skipping back when playing Matroska (.MKV) files. The problem is when it catches a chapter transition, it would skip back to the beginning of the video or the previous chapters.
So far, possible solutions are to manually skip ahead or fast forward right before chapter change, or really, just use Classic Media Player (CMP). But I’m not into switching VLC and other player when playing my videos, so I tried to find another solution.
And I finally find a working work-around! The source is here: VideoLAN Forum
To quote,
After tinkering around with some settings, I found a work-around to the problem.
1) Preferences -> show all settings
2) Input/Codecs -> Demuxers -> Matroska
3) Untick “Ordered Chapters”
I’ve tested it with VLC 1.1.5 to 1.1.7. The last step is to restart the player once you save the changes, and you’re good to go! Thank you, gaz090!
