Sentry Mode videos skips to beginning during playback?

[6thDAY]

My car is currently on v2020.36.11 and I’ve had this issue since Tesla allowed the ability to scroll your Sentry Mode and DashCam videos. I’m using the Samsung Pro Endurance MicroSD card with an adapter, and while I’ve never had any read/write errors, I would always get issues where the video will either skip back to the beginning of playback when I scroll near the end after the “orange” dot event, or I scroll a little bit before the event and let it play through end, video playback also skips to the beginning.

Playback never occurs to the end of the video and skips back to the beginning, whether I let it play by myself or use the scroll.

Is any one facing the same issue? I’m wondering if it’s my microSD and if I should switch to the Samsung T7 SSD?

Anyone with a Samsung SSD can confirm if they have this issue as well?

I get the same, but I assumed it was because my memory stick is on the slower side.

The video playback feature is just horrible, IMO. Any time you try to adjust the slider around it just jumps to random locations. It could be much better, that for sure. Even when you take the drive out and attempt to play the clips back on PC, the sliders don't work at all. I've never seen mp4 files behave like this before, so it must be how Tesla is creating the files through their system.

So I'm guessing it's not the storage device I'm using and more likely Tesla's own software capabilities?

Happens to me to lol. Some clips are perfect and I can easily scroll through, others are weird like yours and always go back to the beginning once you go past the dot.

Same. They just skip or go back randomly sometimes.

This happens to me too with a brand new SanDisk 64GB Max Endurance MicroSD inside a SanDisk MobileMate USB3.0 Reader. The seeking isn't great. But still a lot better than the 128GB Tesla USB stick.

Mine does it too. It is annoying. But playback on a pc via vlc will allow you to scrub to any time.

Is there a solution to this?

My sentry and dashcam clips always skips back to the beginning or some random place before the trigger point. Can never play beyond the trigger.

I'm having this issue with a San Disk SSD, video play back is very jumpy and keeps skipping back and forth. Anyone having this problem with Micro SD Max endurance card set ups?

I have a 1 TB SSD, partitioned 150 GB for cam and the rest for music. Mine also jumps to the beginning but not on every clip. 9 out of 10 work fine. On some recordings I have no red dot. And I get the random jump about 50% of the time trying to scroll to the red dot. Has anyone written a windows viewer that incorporates the JSON files.

Same, one of many annoyances that Tesla can't seem to fix. I have a 2020 model s using the Tesla USB drive or a Kingston 64 GB USB 3.0 all with the same issues. Seeking and jumping back and skipping past the Red Dot are frequent occurrence is occurring in more than 90% of clips. More than a year later, no fix?
