Youtube skipping to the end of the video in Safari

Hello,


Every now and then, when I click a YouTube video, it will just skip to the end of the video doing a fast-forward motion. I tried to clear cache, cookies. Tried to click at the start of the video but it still skips to the end. Tried to edit the url so it jumps pe to second 0 of the video, same thing happens. I have no addons for safari. I am using macOS Big Sur 11.2.1 with all the latest updates.

This seems to fix only if I restart my Mac.


Attached a picture to see what seems to be wrong. Anyone found a fix for this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2

Further discoveries: This happens on all video streaming platforms, not just YouTube. Facebook, Twitter or even video ads from different webpages. Still fixes after restart but don't know what causes it.

What I also discovered, that this also seems to happen on multiple browsers. So this is not a Safari only issue anymore.


Another find is that even iMovie has issues. I made a screen recording for you guys to see. Even when I was editing the videos I had issues in iMovie too. Video players like QuickTime, VLC work with no issues.
