Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a bug report that matches the one I want to file, without success.
I understand that th-ch/youtube-music has NO affiliation with Google or YouTube

YouTube Music (Application) Version

3.9.0

Checklists

I use the portable version of the YouTube Music Application.
I can reproduce this issue in the official version of (WEB) YTM.

What operating system are you using?

Other Linux

Operating System Version

NixOS Stable 25.05 (commit cec1b0b)

What CPU architecture are you using?

x64

Last Known Working YouTube Music (Application) version

No response

Reproduction steps

Enable MPRIS Integration
Play for a while
Pause song (set position may also cause the bug)

Expected Behavior

mpris:length reports as the length of the song.

Actual Behavior

mpris:length suddenly reports as significantly smaller than than the actual length of the song. It only seems to fix itself if you manually select a song, moving to the next song in the queue after the current ends sometimes does not fix the problem.

Enabled plugins

Discord RPC
Precise Volume
Shortcuts (MPRIS)
Synced Lyrics
Video Quality Changer

Additional Information

This doesn't seem to only affect the MPRIS integration, when the bug occurs, it can also be seen happening to Discord RPC, however, Discord RPC corrects the issue almost immediately after it occurs.
