Please describe your bug

When the video playback finishes and the static show image is shown (black screen on JMP) it is not possible to skip to a previous point within the video and have playback resume.

It appears the currently playing video is unloaded even though the progress bar and other parts are still shown, clicking "skip to previous" loads the previous episode starting at the new time selected for the ended video.

This seems to also have the effect on JMP that pressing "back" does not exit fullscreen, leaving you stuck in fullscreen mode without scroll working correctly and the only way to exit fullscreen is to start another video.

Reproduction Steps

Within the browser client:

  1. Ensure "Play next episode automatically" is disabled (I have "show next video info during playback" enabled)
  2. Start an episode
  3. Skip near the end
  4. Let it play until the end
  5. Try and skip to a position before the end of the show

When this is done in JMP if the video is fullscreen also going back will not exit out of fullscreen.

This is reporting 2 issues in one:

  1. Inability to jump backwards when playback ends.
    This is more likely an issue with the web client since you are experiencing this issue even when direct playing. Please report this issue here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web

  2. Inability to exit fullscreen under certain conditions in JMP
    We would kindly ask you to report this issue on the JMP repo: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player

Since this report contains 2 issues I will be closing this one, as tracking multiple issues in one ticket can get messy very quickly.

I will be reporting the JMP part as an issue on JMP repo, I only mentioned it here because I think its a related side effect of the underlying issue. A balance between detailed information and missing information.

The underlying issue being the media is closed while the player is still shown like the media is open.

@felix920506 Can this issue please be re-opened and i will create an issue on JMP linking back to this one, as the JMP issue is likely to be solved by this issue, and there is no point in duplicated work trying to solve it in JMP for it to be solved here.
