**App version** : x.y.z (state whether from Google Play/F-Droid/Custom built APK)
F-Droid 3.4.0
**Problem you may be having, or feature you want** :
Podcasts skip backwards frequently.
**Suggested solution** :
Include option to increase buffer size. I believe it to be a buffering issue as it doesn’t happen when I download a podcast. My WiFi is only 30mbs but I frequently have fast 5G and it happens with that too. I love the app thank you for the hard work.

Hi @RebuiltBurrito
Might it be [Player audio randomly stops - but seekbar continues progressing](https://forum.antennapod.org/t/player-audio-randomly-stops-but-seekbar-continues-progressing/4592)?
If yes, please follow the discussion there. If not, I’d like to ask you to create a thread in the bug category, with all the info that bug report template requests. Thanks!
