WSig 2 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Is there a way / could there be a way added on Android TV to enact thumbnail scrubbing when "skipping" by default? I am on Shield TV Pro (2019) right now, and I have to click the down arrow to bring up the show overlay before thumbnails show up for scrubbing. If I just simply click left or right, it just skips without showing any thumbnails. Edited September 27, 2020 by WSig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1560 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 You mentioned pressing down arrow on your Shield. I can't check my Shield at the moment, but think using up arrow instead brings up thumbnails (thought I'm probably wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSig 2 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Oh - I see. Kind of - that brings up "chapter" thumbnails, but I have thumbnail image extraction turned on for more incremental scrubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Are the remote functions documented somewhere, so we can point users to these functions? @ebr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14912 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Is that not intuitive for wanting to advance or rewind longer than just one skip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSig 2 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 @ebr not initially to me. I would have expected / preferred the opposite: tap to scrub, hold to skip / ff. Ultimately, though, I think perhaps a playback option to toggle the above might be best? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... that is the opposite of the norm I believe. A single tap would move one jump point and holding down a button scrolls/ff/rewinds continuously. That is pretty common in any interface I think. The same as navigating a grid of posters for instance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
