Video Playback Help Please - .ts Files - Stall When Skipping?

[Currant]

I've noticed that a few months ago, some video files were being released with a .ts extension.

This is new to me. I haven't seen this file extension used by any western release groups.
I've been using MPC BE (Media Player Classic - BE ), and it never has any issues except for this.

The problem seems to be it stalls for a few (5 or so) seconds when I try to skip ahead.
I seem to be experiencing the same issue with VLC as well.

I thought this problem went away when we ditched .wmv?

Any insight on how to fix it? Thanks so much

try repackaging with https://mkvtoolnix.download/ and "fix bitstream timing info"
or

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i input.ts -c copy output.mkv

Usually .ts files are used for raw captures with a lossless codec so they're huge files with a codec meant to be used for encoding and not really playback. But without seeing an actual example of such a file, hard to say if people are actually sharing that kind of stuff or just misusing the ts container.
