Next in queue Podcast jumps to the end when it starts.

If I'm listening to a podcast and have another queued up to play next, as soon as the initial podcast finishes I can watch the next load, then the progress bar immediately jumps to the end of the episode and halts playback.

This earlier question is exactly what I'm experiencing. But appears no solution has been found...
