Plex needs to have a better way to fast forward its DVR’d items. for example…when fast forwarding you just get a bar and have to guess if you are stopping at the proper place. however, other apps, sites etc. are able to fast forward and show a bar with a thumbnail view above it that lets you get an idea if you’ve gone to far or not far enough. please add this feature.
thank you.
For that to happen, your Plex server would have to scan the media and generate thumbnails. I know this option is available for movie and TV libraries. Personally, I have it active for movies but not for my TV library, because I add a lot more TV episodes to my library than movies, therefore leading to more CPU activity to generate all the thumbnails for those episodes.
Go to Settings>Library and look for this setting:
As noted here, you can modify each library’s individual configuration on thumbnail generation in each one’s respective advanced settings. First, you have to make sure the above option is enabled. Once it’s enabled, and you have your libraries set to generate preview thumbnails, you’re good to go.
