Remote functionality with Chromecast is horrible.

I'm trying to Forward (or rewind) in an TV-series episode I'm watching on my Chromecast and in Emby it looks like this  (See first attachment (I've cut out the title and image on purpose).post-162662-0-86338600-1476904392_thumb.

 

The controls as I see them are:

TIMELINE

PREVIOUS FILE IN PLAYLIST, PAUSE, STOP, NEXT FILE IN PLAYLIST.

 

Where are my Forward and Rewind keys?

I try looking under Controls-tabpost-162662-0-16392500-1476904551_thumb.

Nope, well I see , UP,LEFT, OK, RIGHT, DOWN.

 

But they are all greyed out and I can't use them.

 

So how am I supposed to Forward 80 seconds? Do I need to touch the Timeline and guess?

Playing on the Phone I can at least Swipe over the screen to forward or rewind.

 

 

The last screenshot I'm uploading is from when Emby still played the episode on the Chromecast but the Emby-app on the phone had decided it didn't actually play anything at all.

Notice that the "Chromecast" icon is still lit as if it's playing something but there is no timeline or controls. post-162662-0-15763600-1476904713_thumb.

 

I'm coming from using Plex where it's horrendously simple, It's PREVIOUS, BACK 10 SECONDS, PAUSE, STOP, FORWARD 30 SECONDS, NEXT, SETTINGS.post-162662-0-58846800-1476905054_thumb.
