Minor bug: Media player desync

So I noticed recently that the media player doesn’t account for buffering of video well, so while the serverside copy of the player is several seconds in, clientside the video starts from the beginning. This means that once the video ends serverside, the client version is cut off by however long it took to buffer.

Usually it’s not a problem on a good PC, but I can imagine that on lower end hardware the delay might get annoying if the video being watched doesn’t use a kind of end card.
Also it’s basically the same as the “dying while watching media player”, but the same effect is experienced when returning from RC mode.
