Basically, I’m getting a little disappointed with Plex’s changes to the skipback duration in the Android app - it was recent shortened from 15 seconds down to 10 seconds, which is shorter than I’d like. I’d like to have the option in settings, to change the rewind button to a duration I choose, in seconds. Android is my primary platform, but of co… ---
