Hi there, This post started out in Plex For Android , then I put it in Plex Ninjas , and then it was suggested I post here as an idea for any/all apps. Basically, I’m getting a little disappointed with Plex’s changes to the skipback duration in the Android app - it was recent shortened from 15 second…

Really sad that this very simple feature can’t be implemented. Something like Kodi with step-ticks is comparatively rocket science. This is just changing 1 number.

+1. This is so annoying with 30s skip…

Please implement this feature. Just let us choose how many seconds each arrow will go forward or backward.

wow 2015 and still pending… almost 400 votes. this will probably trickle to the paid version

Maybe when they increase subscription prices they will have the funds for basic features

Please make it so it can be customizable :folded_hands: Thanks

One month later, can we get an ETA or something? Please anything! I’ve been waiting years for that feature.

Any word on when ish we can expect it?

Please give Plex Apps the ability to customize the skip-back duration length (mod: +skip-forward)

I take it you know this is available in the new-experience apps?
