With the new player, when skipping forward or backward it only shows the seconds ahead for each click. Please add a progress bar with it so we can actually see how far along we are within the show when skipping

I second that notion! The progress bar gave a great visual cue as to how far into the movie we were going. Only showing the number of seconds is pretty much meaningless… especially since we need to convert seconds to hours and minutes! please bring back the progress bar on your next update for Nvidia Shield.
