Unable to see video preview thumbnails

Server Version#: 1.18.5.2309
Player Version#: 5.1.1
Platform Version#: 4.1.0

New plex for lg webos is doing great for me. But video preview thumbnails is not working. It still works on previous version of plex for webos, also works on android, iphone, web client but doesnt work on new webos preview.

This problem is solved on Player Version# 5.1.2. Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks for adding video previews - is there any reason previews are limited to only showing when you press the up arrow onto the seek bar as opposed to also showing when you just press left and right from video playback as is the case on the Plex Roku app and Netflix etc?

If it doesn’t present a technical issue, it would be much nicer if the video previews were also displayed when seeking just using left and right in the same way it does on Plex Roku rather than requiring a specific series of key presses to go up to the seek bar to get them to display.

Generally though huge thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this app. It is looking really polished now and is overall a very nice experience- you’ve done a great job.

I’ve commented on another thread specific to this issue:

TLDR, it’s expected and there are no plans to match Roku’s behaviour, I’m not sure if Roku will change to match this behaviour.
