I know Jellyfin isn't to blame in the slightest because I use Jellyfin for Kodi in the Native (Direct paths) mode. I thought this was a peculiarity of using Kodi on an Android TV box, but the same thing happens on my Windows desktop.
I stumbled upon a three-year-old Reddit thread, with relatively recent activity, talking of the same problem. I wouldn't be able to tell you how to fix your problem, sorry, but I did find a workaround from that thread: the Unpause Jumpback add-on will automatically seek back when resuming video so that you don't have to do it yourself. You can configure the time the add-on jumps back by and to only do so if you've paused for at least x seconds.
This is interesting. I used to use Kodi with a standard FTP backend for the media library but you know I can't remember if I had such pause issues back then as I have been using Jellyfin for nearly 2 years now.
I wonder if this is to do with the Caching function in Kodi and/or the chunk size.
I am going to have to do some testing and report back.
