Android app is non-sensical for seeking forward/backwards

[frozen-cdn]

Hello, new to Jellyfin, and it's completely unacceptable that there are no seek forward/backwards buttons, only skip to next track or back in the UI

What are you guys thinking, just curious?

Have you ever tried to use your finger, and scroll through a 2 hour DJ set and go back 10 seconds?

To top things off, you have an area in the settings which defines seek forward/backward amounts, yet no way to actually use it!

I've double tapped until my fingers hurt, it's not doing anything

Absolutely delirious design here, totally unacceptable quality control, what are you guys even doing lmao

This is getting a bad rating on Google Play as it's utterly useless

PS - I don't see any way to specify a different player, either, since Jellyfin is crippled.  Why is it so hidden?

Brutal, brutal, brutally bad design

The 1st thing we always think about is "What will piss off frozen-cdn the most?" After that, we start thinking about puppies.

Volunteering our free time to give you a free media server and clients. What are you up to?

You created an account just to shit on the Android app, which functions *exactly as you've described* when configured correctly? That's dedication.

No, my music library is all FLAC and I'm guessing very, very different from yours.

Next time you have an issue, ask a question.

Thanks, you guys both dodged the question or complaint completely, though

And RE: your music library being all FLAC (irrelevant -- FLAC sets exist I have no doubt) doesn't really answer the question of how you're supposed to quickly go backwards in a 2 hour podcast or DJ set.

Podcasts aren't music and will suffer the same fate

Lastly, why does the options area have a seek-time amount thats customizable, but no way to add the seek button and do anything with it?

You guys can get mad all you want, I still will donate once it's fixed.

I'm at a loss dude. There exists a way to scrub through. Double tap gesture moves forward/backward a set amount of time. You can use MPV or VLC if those external players better fit your needs (both offer scrubbing). If you change to the web player, there are LITERALLY fast-forward and rewind buttons.

I'm trying to figure out what you're so upset about. This already exists.

Oh, my intent was never to answer your question or address your complaint.

My intent was purely to poke fun at the awful attitude you came in with. 

It's just how I deal with rude people.

Best of luck!
