Please bring back the Skip Forward and Back buttons. They used to be there, but disappeared about a year ago. Trying to go forward or back a few seconds by grabbing the scrubber is almost impossible. ---

Double tap on the left and right side of the screen to skip forward and back. ---

Incredible! Did I miss that in the notes somewhere? Seems like it should’ve been mentioned, or more obvious. Anyway, thanks for pointing it out! 😁 ---

It was added quite some time back, but since the buttons were there, I don’t think folks noticed, I didn’t. When the buttons got removed, there was no easy way to know about the tap function. > [@Plex for Mobile & TVs (Android Mobile, iOS, Android TV, tvOS, Fire TV)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-mobile-tvs-android-mobile-ios-android-tv-tvos-fire-tv/909610/19): > > - [Android][iOS] Player: Support tap gestures for seek forward and backward during playback.
