I saw the request to test yesterday on community-hub, I was using 18.04 so updated using -proposed and started vlc playing yesterday (selecting lots of different files, and skipping next if the video is long, or I think it's been playing awhile..

No issues at all yesterday, though I don't know what qualifies as "a decent amount of time"

guiverc@d960-ubu:~$ apt-cache policy vlc
vlc:
  Installed: 3.0.4-1ubuntu0.2

This morning I woke my suspended box up and it continued playing. I tried to move the slider back, it would move but continue playing as if I'd not asked it anything (the slider returning to where it was, or slightly to right as it kept playing). Ctrl-left wouldn't change the playing position (only change the slider briefly).

This behavior could be normal (pre-change); I fixed with a <P> (previous), <N> (next) then re-position to where I want it and normal behavior returned, which I know I've done before! - so it's possible I'm noting normal behavior. Otherwise I've had no issues over ~5 hours of use. Unless I note anything more to this, at end of today it'll be another 8-10 hours of play

(I'll let someone else decide if that's a decent amount of time - i'm purposely trying to pick strange video files, lots of short youtube-dls, or as many different files as I come across. Of course I'm not watching it all the time...)
