fast fwd mp4 - cmartin - 2025-04-03
When I fast forward MP4 files, it shows a progress bar on the bottom. Many players display a little window showing where in the video you are moving. For instance, if you want to skip a specific section, you can see when the scene changes and stop the fast forward. This might often be done for skipping commercials or previews.
Is there a setting to allow this on Jellyfin? I run the server on Win11 and my viewing client is generally Roku, but I have noticed that even when the client is a Windows machine, this feature (no little window) is not available.
Thanks

You need to enable trickplays in each library's settings and then run the job that generates them.
Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks > Generate Trickplay Images
