A workaround is to remux to a format like mkv, which enforces packet
boundaries. Making mpv cache the entire file in memory also works.
+ - Starting from the very end of the file often does not work. This includes
+ starting playback of a file while backward playback mode is enabled, and
+ no initial seek is set with ``--start``. You need to use something like
+ ``--start=99%`` to try to get the end.
+
+ - Starting backward playback at a specific time position without pre-caching
+ the entire file usually misses the seek target due to a race condition.

Tuning:
- Remove all ``--vf``/``--af`` filters you have set. Disable deinterlacing.
