Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

The subtitles become not synchronized after pressing the skip intro button.

Maybe a Kodi player related bug. It's a strange behaviour - by seeking to a specific time the subtitles won't synchronised, but by skipping with arrow keys everything is synchronised.

Edit: okay by using jsonrpc player.seek it works perfectly. Changing this soon.

Thank you so much, c2a35f8 fixed the problem for me.

@Sandmann79 590183e made the subtitles become not synchronized again after pressing the skip intro button, tested with the TV series "The office" season three episode 5.

[Sandmann79]

Yep forget to test this yesterday. 24edde0 should fix this.
It's not my favourite solution for this bug, but maybe the only one.

[Essam311]

@Sandmann79 Thank you, 24edde0 works fine.

[Essam311]

@Sandmann79 Skip Recap does not work correctly with 24edde0 it works correctly with c2a35f8 tested with the TV series "The Office" season 3 episode 11 and the TV series "American Gods" season 2 episode 1.

[Sandmann79]

@Essam311 You mean The Office (US) 3x11 - Back from vacation? If yes, this shouldn't work with the patch you mentioned.

But never mind there is something new to test for you. This time as attachment (i won't spam the commits with this trial & error testing). Just unzip this file to plugin.video.amazon-test\resources\lib.
playback.zip

@Sandmann79 Thank you, skipping intro and recap working great now and the subtitles are synchronized after using https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/files/4470141/playback.zip. If possible please add an option for auto skipping intro and recap to the settings.

That might be useful as a sub-option for skip buttons enabling setting. Also, slight off topic, @Sandmann79 when selecting Script playback method the browser field is visible. It shouldn't right? Might have messed that at some point.

[Sandmann79]

@Essam311 that should be possible
@Varstahl or as list setting "intro/recap scenes processing" with options do nothing, display button, autoskip intro, autoskip recap, autoskip all?
The browser field is just for using the correct fullscreen command.

[Essam311]

@Sandmann79 The file https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/files/4470141/playback.zip seems not to work all the time correctly, after pressing the Skip Intro button it skips too much more time forward.

[Sandmann79]

You're talking from seconds or minutes? Can you provide a debug log?

[Essam311]

@Sandmann79 It skipped forward about two minutes more, here is the debug log, tested with episode 20 in season 3 from The office (US) in primevideo.com "Safety Training" (the episodes in primevideo.com for season 3 from the office (US) have different numbers than the ones in amazon.com after episode 9)

Okay somewhere between your Kodi build (20200408) and my version (20200324) they fixed that issue with seeking from play position. That's the reason why commit c2a35f8 works perfectly for you.
On older versions seeking forward with values lower 60 seconds will result in jumping direct to this position from the beginning instead current position of video.

@Sandmann79 Thank you so much for adding the option for automatically skipping intro and recap.
