Description

User descriptions of the issue mention using the scrubber on the lock screen player to drag playback to the end. Instead of the next episode in their Up Next queue playing as normal, it either starts from the middle/end or is skipped entirely.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

We haven't been able to replicate the issue so far. However, the user in #7475878-zen mentioned the following:

I swiped the scrubber off the right edge of the screen from this view of the app (to be clear, I wasn't trying to bring the scrubber to the end of the episode, or even keep my finger on the displayport; I "grabbed" the scrubber and swiped across the entire device off the right):

Other Notes

We haven't been able to replicate so far, and the issue also seems to occur randomly for users.

We've started asking them for episodes they've experienced the issue with, in case the issue can be narrowed down to certain file types or hosts.
