The video player was kept in sync with a virtual timeline clock by nudging videoElement.playbackRate by ±0.1 every 200-500ms whenever they drifted. Each playbackRate write hits the audio decoder, so on audio-sensitive paths (iOS Safari, CarPlay, AirPlay/Bluetooth, macOS audio routes) the audio crackled, stuttered, and dropped. Several layers of workarounds had grown around it: - iOS hid the playback speed UI entirely. - iOS skipped the rate-fudge step (so iOS audio was OK, but iOS video drifted from the timeline and `readyState` got pumped via a force-pause hack to "unstick" the buffer). - Firefox capped at 8x because it mutes audio above 8x. - HLS.js had a custom pause/play orchestration to work around the rate writes interfering with playback. This change inverts the model: the video plays at its declared rate and the timeline follows it, instead of the timeline driving the video. syncVideo now only acts on real divergence: - |diff| > 0.5s → push to video (user seek, loop wrap, initial sync). - |diff| > 0.05s while playing → pull the timeline to the video by dispatching a seek action (Redux only, no media-element touch). Buffering state switches to the browser's own waiting/playing events via ReactPlayer's onBuffer/onBufferEnd, replacing the readyState polling and the iOS-specific force-pause "fix". Drops the 16x cap and the Firefox 8x branch — playback rate is now whatever the user actually selected, not a moving target. Restores the speed UI on iOS, drops the now-unused isFirefox helper.
