Fast Forwarding/Rewind ATV remote functionality on Live TV is incorrect

Plex Players Player Betas
1

I have noticed that the remote functionality in Live TV is VERY different to how the rest of the Plex ATV app and the ATV video player in general operates.

-In Live TV, the 10sec jump back/forth that you can do by clicking on the edges of the trackpad doesn’t work.
-To fast forward/rewind, you must click the trackpad, move the cursor to a position, re-click the trackpad and then press the Play button…That’s too many steps, not intuitive and in complete contrast to the operation of the ATV remote in the rest of Plex and ATV interface.

Is this a bug or by design? This really needs to be fixed.

This is definitely a bug. We will work on fix it on the next couple of releases.

We’ve been working hard on the player, and this should be fixed / improved in the next version, sorry for the delay!
