In the settings you can enable/disable the new player.
Using OLD video player:
- When viewing chapters, the selected chapter stays centered, and pressing left or right arrow instantly scrolls the entire row, keeping the selected chapter centered (unless at start or end of chapter list).
- You can press right/left as fast as you want, or even hold it down to fast scroll, and the chapter row scrolls at the appropriate speed.
Using the NEW video player:
- When viewing chapters, the scrolling behavior is different. The row doesn’t scroll until you select a chapter past the visible edge of the screen. This constant stop/start of the scrolling looks less fluid than before, and sometimes misbehaves.
- If you press right (forward) multiple times too quickly, the chapter list stutters then closes, and you end up seeking forward in the video you’re watching. Holding the cursor down to fast scroll does not work either, as this will always close the chapter list and seek the video. Pressing left (back) in the chapter list too quickly doesn’t result in seek, but the scroll animation stutters as well (cannot keep up with button presses).
I find the old chapter scroll behavior (keeping selection centered) much smoother, aside from the scroll/seek bug in the new player.
