With the old Plex Media Player app, I could seek ( ← or → ) while paused.

With the new Plex app, pressing these keys while paused does nothing.

Often when I pause something, I want to seek back 10 or 20 seconds ( tap ← ) prior to un-pausing. Having to play first before seeking is not as good.

I’ve noticed this too. I couldn’t even get the scrubber to move with the mouse when the video is paused.

Yes, I also can’t move the scrubber while paused. Seems there’s no way to move around at all unless playback is happening. This seems like a real bug and not a design choice.

It’s odd. I looked into it, there’s code that intends to prevent seeking while paused. Regardless, yuck, I agree, not a design choice. I’ve filed and issue to fix this, we should be able to move the playhead while paused.

Can we get the ability to seek/ skip ahead/go back while the video is paused?

thanks
