    For those that don't know, DeX is Samsung's proprietary version of a computer OS on their phones and tablets: https://www.samsung.com/us/apps/dex/
    Des is using DeX to handle running the Jellyfin Android app that is then shown on any screen through HDMI.
    -------------------------------------------------
    Edit:
    I can confirm this is an issue with DeX and the Jellyfin Android app. Since I also have a Samsung phone that supports DeX, I used DeX with Jellyfin set to launch the integrated ExoPlayer.

    Using the phone as a mouse pad, when you double-click on the screen to fast-forward or rewind, the first time is successful.
    If you then bring up the ExoPlayer GUI by single-clicking on the screen, the transparent circle that indicates a double-click is permanently brought back up and will not disappear until your next double-click.

    Just to point out, this issue doesn't happen when running the Android app normally (not using DeX on the Samsung phone).

    How are you exiting from the VLC player on DeX? I tried it and closing out of the VLC player will not take me out of Jellyfin. Seems like a solution to your problem as it doesn't have this issue.

    Yes, thank you for confirming that this issue is not just happening to me, I have suspected as much since it happened on both my Samsung devices while using DeX. I have revisited using VLC and I can't seem to replicate both VLC and Jellyfin closing together like before, but there are still some downsides like unable to auto-play the next video, and being unable to change the streaming quality on the fly.

    I believe I'm in the minority for using DeX with JellyFin but DeX is crucial to my media consumption setup, as XREAL Beam just does not cut it for me as a media playing tool, DeX just works way better with my XREAL Air2. I am hopeful that the devs could get this compatibility fix for DeX and ExoPlayer.
