This affects non-beta TV builds as well. Running NVIDIA Shield TV ISSUE: When seeking during playback, no timeline or other information is displayed to show the effects of the seek operation. EFFECTS: This makes it difficult to seek to specific point within a show/movie as there’s no point of reference. WORKAROUND: Pop up the OSD before seeking. The big issue here is that it’s no longer possible to seek with LEFT/RIGHT buttons when the full OSD is displayed - you must select the on-screen seek buttons and then press OK/SELECT. Not an appropriate workaround. Other video playing apps use the standard convention of showing a timeline and tracking time while seeking. This includes Netflix on Android TV and other platforms and even Plex clients and Media Player on other platforms. ---

You would probably get more traction over in the feature request topic, as that’s really what this is ---

I’ve reposted to the general Android TV sub-forum with a request header, but IMO, this is a deficiency report, not a feature request, as it’s present in other Plex client platforms. The lack of the timeline display doesn’t look like a planned feature (even if it was intentional). This and many other issues would be mitigated by offering feature parity under a single UI paradigm, allowing for minor platform/input differences. It would also be a lot easier to track, test and debug going forward. ---
