Timeline WONT STOP playing ?!?!?

I have followed this thread for some time. I recently popped back on 2022 to see if it was resolved. It was not. I tried a few versions. I initially thought it was specifically related to multicam when zooming on the timeline. However, it randomly started occuring when scrolling a timeline on a simple single video cutting project. I was really confused. I was tracking my RAM usage, but my machine is a 2022 very high spec model. I highly doubt it's the machine. However, I decided to blow $200 and upgrade even more RAM... it didn't help.

Finally I tied the issue to one thing: extended monitor. I have one 4k monitor in front of me, and two 1080p monitors on the side (only one or the other hooked up at a time). So, essentially, 2 screens. I have the timeline, always, on the 1080p monitor. Since Adobe's stuff is always riddled with bugs, and for a long time before it was a scaling issue with them, I thought to check that. Today I right clicked premiere icon (not opening the app) and selected properties. In the compatibility tab, I changed settings for all users. Then clicked change high DPI settings. Then I clicked 'override high dpi scaling performed by APPLICATION'. Upon opening Premiere (which I had done a dozen times before to test parameters to fix this) I tested it again. Keep in mind, I'm testing one change to one setting at a time with the same project that freezes when the same timeline and position is moved. Sure enough, no delay in pausing, and no unstoppable playthrough while nothing else is clickable inside Premiere. Unfortunately, the timeline is now hyper zoomed in on my 1080p display because it's bumped up to 4k resolution from my main screen. It's not a deal breaker, but it's a bit annoying. However, this, so far today, has seemed to alleviate the issue. I wanted to share this with others that are suffering.

Anyhow, I hope this solution works for some of you. I have checked many forums and many posts in the past few days to see if any solutions were present. They were all the same sort of things they always say, and nothing worked for me. Good luck to you all. If it doesn't work for your situation, my apologies. Cheers.

Just chiming in to say that I have had this very same problem frequently for three years. It seems to get worse when there are a lot of clips on the timeline. Premiere has more bugs than any other program I've ever used. I recently had to completely reinstall because it crashed every time I tried to create a new project. The fact that I still use it at all speaks to how much I don't want to learn how to use another program.

I had and have this problem as well. At least I think I was able to narrow down when it occurs for me. Maybe this will help someone else here too.
For me it only happens when I have multicamera clips in the timeline. Not always but only then. The number of cameras doesn't matter, even if there's just one camera in the MC clip (I use that for audio-syncing) it's enough to trigger the problem. Maybe even a simple nest is enough, I'm not sure about that.
But the main thing is: it seems to only occur, when I'm zooming into or out of the timeline while it is playing back. As soon as I tried to avoid that, playback started and stopped normal. I know, that's far from ideal (jumping around the timeline while playing is actually beneficial to my workflow) but maybe it's a start until this problem will get fixed in about 9 years...

Hi

Try disablimg Mercury Transmit and tell me what happens

In all the threads about this issue in the past 5 years, no Adobe rep has ever said they'd work on a solution on their end. The problem is always our fault, our media. It's 2022 - are you really saying that in order to edit a simple sequence I need to slow my workflow way down with a bunch of media management steps?? (proxy files, etc). And I'm supposed to avoid speed changes and other effects? Maybe I'll just go back to editing on a 35mm movieola, at least I'll get exercise. 

Having the same issue...March 2022, latest version, tried all suggested tips.

Seems to be worse playing nested clips, so frustrating, in the middle of a paid project but can not finish it because of this problem.

Currently having the same issue on my PC. Unbelievably frustrating.

I've been having this problem and it's so debilitating. It's insane really because it has gotten to the point of making this completely worthless. I've already created so many projects though that it's going to be very hard for me to switch to something else. But, I'm forced to because this issue and so many others over the years are just destroying my life. 

1. I do a lot of volunteer work for my channel. It's become my livelihood since I became "nonessential" as a videographer for my corporate gigs. So, having to deal with this issue 3 times now each time taking at least a couple of days is just devistating. I've lost my entire weekend this weekend. I mean, I should be days ahead with my editing. A human can only take so much working in front of a computer that it's essential to not waste any of it troubleshooting someone elses product. This is killing me physically, emotionally, and monetarily. I do my work to help the world so I don't charge for what I produce for my channel. This means I pay for travel, gear, my computers, software, etc... and it's all pointless because of adobe, the bottleneck always ends up being adobe. I have top end gear too.

I mean, my resources are like nothing when running this but adobe premiere is hanging up. I'll playback at 2x speed and stop it with the space bar and a few seconds later that feels like minutes it finally stops. The latest, gratest adobe 2022 does this so bad it's completely unusable. I'm not trying to watch these projects in real time. I need smooth playback not choppy and to speed up playback and have it stop when I hit the spacebar, not a thousand frames later. Even if it's just pressing the L key twice. 
I'm about to try my old C25 DVD. But, really, I just downloaded Divinci, so I'll see if I can handle figuring that out and using my ppro projects in it before they come up with a solution. Dread... 

I have this same issue I have the latest version of premiere pro cc 22.
