Plex registering double-tap when pressing play/pause on touch device

Server Version#:
Player Version#: 1.32.5.7349

Using on a windows 11 Surface tablet. Whenever I press the ‘play’ button while playing a video, I expect it to pause the video, and then pressing it again should start the video again.

Instead, if I press the play button, the video stops for a fraction of a second, before restarting again. It seems that plex is registering the press as a double-click. I’ve checked with other apps, and in the tablet configs, and the screen is reporting the touch correctly. The issue seems to just be with plex.

Tried on the plex web app, and instead of a double-tap if I click play/pause it will constantly register taps even after I’ve taken my finger off the screen, play/pause/play/pause/play on and on in quick succession. If I try with any other video player or web app (vlc, youtube, mpv, anything) it works fine. It’s just plex.

I assume that neither of these players has been optimised for touch for some reason.
