Hi team,
I have a tp link c200 installed which has been working fine however after the update it received yesterday for 1.1.18 the playback section is completely unusable. While playback it would play normally for a few seconds then the frame freezes and jumps ahead 20-30 seconds. Yes the recording is present because when I manually adjust the slider I can see the part of the recording it skips. However it's just annoying and broken now. Is there anyway to downgrade back to 1.16. Also did an app update yesterday (for the tapo app) so not sure what's causing this. Other cameras work fine so I suspected it is the c200 update. Anyway you can help me reverse this update . It would be great. I can't go a day without cctvs working and this is just a pain. App version is 2.9.7 and I have an iPhone 12, iPhone 13pro both on 15.6. Both have access to these cameras and work fine but the c200 playback is the only one affected. Kindly help

@Ad505 also before you ask my router settings are unchanged and it worked the same way for months now without issues. Signal strength is -59 and I have already did a reset, formatted the sd card from the tapo app and tried using on an android device too.

The same repy from support as you. Must be a standard throwout, just to keep you busy.
if they're getting multiple messages with the same problem dont you think that they might be able to put 2 &2 together.?

@Solla-topee Hi. I just got my hands on an old android device. It’s a samsung not sure of the model however the app was not updated and it worked perfectly fine which leads me to believe it has something to do with the latest app update for ios. The older app on android works fine but the iphones did an auto update and it's barely usable for any of the cameras now. All play for 5-10 secs then the frame freezes and jumps 30-40 seconds ahead sometimes its stuck for upto a minute

@Rayjm yeah seems like the way to go here. Not really impressed tbh but since I bought a bunch of these cameras altogether and return window closed by the time I had them setup I had no option but to use them just to realise these cameras lack basic functions such as third party cloud storage, notification when cameras go offline, and no email with images of motion detection. I've already had one of these cameras stolen and don't have a clue who took it. I've got 8 cameras and They want me to pay for tapo care which is basically the cost of 4 new camera for each year. Disapp

@Ad505 as I said on my original post, android seems just fine. I keep that one up to date but not sure when the last update was installed but can say that if the update was available then it would have got updated.
Im sure its the Apple IOS update thats the problem.

@Rayjm yes I did saw your post after which I tried an android and you were right. I have the old app so didn't update incase it got stuck too however all iOS devices were auto updated to latest tapo app and now have that stutter on all camera models. Let's see what support has to say.
