FF during preview resets preview to beginning

original post title:  FF during preview resets preview to beginning

Don't know if this is ATV specific, but the web app doesn't have a remote control like my Shield does 

Play a movie and the preview starts.
Hit FF on the Shield remote - get a toast saying "Unable to seek", then the (same) preview restarts from the beginning

The source of the preview may make a diff, not positive.  Anyway, getting the toast should not reset the preview.

Note:  Is what I call a 'preview' what Emby calls a 'cinema intro'?

Hi, probably. What is it?

Hi.  Can you please produce this error and then send a log from the app?

Thanks.

@ebr 5:29 EST, user "tester", video "Another 48 hours".  I do think it has something to do with the preview source.

BTW, you need more detail in the instructions.  They don't say that you have to go into 'general display'.  I almost gave up.

@Luke Sorry to be confusing.  I'm calling the preview the short video about another movie that plays before the selected video.  Yeah, they must be the same.  I just wanted to make sure readers knew what I was talking about.  I guess I thought about the plugin/Emby terminology after I finished typing the post.

Thanks for the log.  The problem is we don't know the duration of the item so the skip operation cannot properly calculate where to seek to.  We can try to improve that so that it won't send you back.
