[Bug]: [Android Beta] Unable to Perform Multiple Consecutive Seeks

Stremio Platform

Android Mobile Beta App

Describe the bug

Currently, seeking forward or backward multiple times in quick succession is not possible. For example, with a 15-second seek interval, attempting to skip 60 seconds requires four separate interactions. However, after a single seek, the seek buttons become disappear. This makes precise navigation within a video difficult.

To Reproduce

1. Play a video.
2. Attempt to seek forward or backward multiple times quickly.
3. Observe that the seek button becomes disappears after the first attempt.

Expected behavior

Users should be able to repeatedly press the seek buttons (forward or backward) to increment the seek duration. For instance, pressing the forward seek button four times with a 15-second interval should advance the video by 60 seconds.

Notes

Implement a similar seeking behavior to the YouTube Android app, where repeated double taps incrementally increase the seek distance.

I am facing this too. I have to wait a second and let it move ahead before using the seek button again. I cannot use it multiple times in a row

I very much sympathize. The current method is too inconvenient.

Same here. I've also noticed that skipping back sometimes doesn't bring it back the full amount. For example, if using 10 second seek interval, it will, at times, only go back 1-3 seconds. When using it about 2 minutes ago, I pressed seek backwards 5 times in a row for it to only go back 1 second each time.
