+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.

Would be badass if the setting(s) would be separate for each device or even each user on each device.

I just found that Global Speed chrome extension can also be used to skip ahead and behind with customizable durations. (works with Plex Web Client only)
Default keybind is Z for backwards and X for forwards.

This would literally take a few minutes. You add a new setting, a new database column for this setting, and instead of using the hardcoded time you set a variable with whatever is set in the setting.

It has been 10 years and Plex devs still have not figured out how to do this. Unfortunately there is a lot of incompetence at this company

For f*ck’s sake Plex. this is simple to do. so just do it!! I’m looking for an alternative. Plex clearly do not care about its users. Plex is slowly killing itself. Do yourself a favor, open source your source code so other (more competent) people can make it better

There is a way to do this manually, but it only works using a local version of Plex (by IP address or 127.0.0.1 instead of app.plex.tv). My FireTV stick or Android phone weren’t effected at all. It involves manually editing html and javascript files, and likely break any updates Plex pushes over the air.

This isn’t much of an ask, Plex. Do it the right way so I don’t have to use grep.

Please Plex Dev. This should be one of the easier things that can be pushed out. It’s a struggle. Allow us to choose the amount we would like to skip forward or backwards.

Last thing I want to do, is go into the windows files, and modify them just so I can have that simple feature.

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