Ok, I believe I found it: the problem (at least here) only occurs
if I switch into "Pause live video" mode and _immediately_ press
"Play" or "Pause". Apparently there isn't enough data in the recording
yet to continue replay, so the player believes the file is at its end
and stops.

Please try this patch, which will force a few seconds of waiting after
pausing live video, so the recording's file can fill up somewhat.
There may be a cleaner solution, but that would probably involve
modifications in the player, which I can't do for the final 1.2.0
any more. Simply waiting a few seconds here seems to be an acceptable
workaround.
