As I understand it, fast forward is today supported by using curl and range requests. I have a case when the http server does not support range requests, but instead it has a special additional parameter (?t=) to skip forward.  
  
Is there any way to get this to work in today’s PLEX? Is there a way to specify how the fast forward should be controlled?

Its already available on the Plex Desktop Client  
  
  
  
Just hit the left or right arrow key on your keyboard and it jumps forward or back.

Sure support for fast forward is there, but it will utilize the range operation when using curl. I would have to customize how the fast forward should be done for this specific site (instead of sending a range operation it would require a GET request with additional parameters, like t=\<number of seconds)
