Раньше все было окей, но теперь ускоряется еще и видео. Everything was ok before, but now the video is also speeding up.

It is working for me as of 8/11/24. It rushes through the body of the ad, and the static advertisement screen at the end still shows for like 5 more seconds, but it does mute and ff as it should.
