Title. How do I jump around inside a media file when using the Plex HTPC player? VLC, for example, allows arbitrary selection of playback location. I think the old Plex players did too.
HTPC doesn’t have full mouse support but, there is a bug right now that won’t allow FF or rewind for HTPC. Plex knows about it’ll be fixed in the next update
If you use a keyboard can you skip ahead 30 seconds or back 10 seconds by pushing the arrow key once?
What controller are you using? Did you have to map the remote?

Pressing the arrow keys on the HTPC’s keyboard does not skip or affect Plex HTPC at all when a file is playing.
Seems stupid to say, but yes, I know the keyboard’s arrows function as I’ve tested them elsewhere.
In Plex HTPC do this:
Pause playback (default: SPACE), which will show the playback controls on screen
press cursor UP once
you have now moved the focus to the progress bar
use cursor RIGHT/LEFT to navigate the playback position
Press Enter/OK if you have found the position, which resumes playback.
After the playback controls have been hidden, use the cursor Left/right keys to adjust the position, if needed.
