Description of the bug

Issue: Joining an existing Group watching an in-progress TV episode causes the group's playback to start the next episode immediately.

Reproducible: Reliably

Reproduction steps

  1. Make a new group with multiple users
  2. Begin watching an item in the library - either an episode in a series with another episode which follows it, or a queue with add multiple items
  3. Have a second or third user join the group and continue playback
  4. Observe that the currently playing item ends and the next item begins suddenly
    Note: This also loses tracked progress of the originally playing episode for all participating users

What is the current bug behavior?

The progress on the then-current episode is lost, and the playback moves to the next item in the queue/playlist.

What is the expected correct behavior?

When a new user joins, their playback joins the group and continues without issue.

Jellyfin logs

This is from the log_20240805.log file immediately following the user "robert" joining the group. You can see the episode "Islands: The Invitation (1)" was playing, and once "robert" joined with session "218b696287af73835382cbbb8dab7cc0" NextItem is requested. We see the playback stop at 682265 ms as the "stopped" value. Then playback pauses, presumably for "robert", showing 0 ms. We then see playback for "justen" and "bitty" pause at 560882 ms, followed by all sessions requesting Ready in group, the "218b696287af73835382cbbb8dab7cc0" session then requests PreviousItem. It doesn't seem this is followed, as the episode does go onto the next in the series but does not return to the previously in-progress episode and loses all track of progress. Finally the player pauses after starting "Islands: Whipple the Happy Dragon (2)"

Just encountered this issue this week on 10.10.7, so still an issue. Two already in the group with partial playback progress, a third joins and ends up skipping to the next episode.

Might be related to the chrome / hevc/av1 transcoding timing sync? I recall there being issues with various playback timing issues such as subtitle sync and syncplay. Something to test would be whether this still happens if everyone is direct streaming or using the same x264 playback.
