Please fix issue with samba share playback and login

I use a samba share for my media. Since some time ago, when playing the next song the tracks seem to randomly start from any time rather than the expected 00:00:00. This is a major issue and it totally ruins the experience.

Also, after adding a samba location to favorites (and even after removing it), if I left the application with a song in context then it asks me to login, even though my credentials are saved and i use them to login every time. So what I'm usually doing is picking cancel 3x to avoid inputing my credentials and then just login to the server as usual. This is a minor annoyance that I have since the favorite action, before it was never asking me to login.

Changes in stream handling

I use VLC to listen to the radio via stream. In the previous version, clicking on a stream address resulted in it being turned on or off, which was very convenient. Now clicking results in turning on another of the saved stream addresses. To deactivate a stream or to open the one at the very bottom, which is at the very bottom, it is now easiest to close the entire app. Restore the previous functionality, which you have already done.

Rewind button does not work?

Good player, using it for years on windows but I guess is still in developing.
When I try to jump back to previous song it is not possible. Just jumping to the beginning of current song.
