Time Sensitive Seeking #3547

Describe the feature you'd like

Feature Request: Time Sensitive Seeking

What I mean by this, and for anyone that wants to see it in action... Kodi has a "relatively new" feature in the last few years in terms of how it seeks.

Depending on how many times you press "seek" (in either direction) within a small period of time, the amount it will seek increases more heavily, the more that you press seek in rapid succession.

You press is once, it does say... 5 seconds. Press twice, 15, three times, 30 seconds, four times, 1 minute, etc. etc.

Now you don't have to hit all four (or more) presses inside of a certain time period, but it's likely just a simple "timeout" type value for the function that you have to press the button within to trigger the next increment in seek time. I'm guessing that is like 250-500ms or something smallish like that. That way you aren't waiting forever after you press seek (any number of times) and for it to actually seek.

I know there is the Player re-write coming Soon™ but also didn't know if this was something being considered.

And yes, I know you can "just use kodi". But why not make the "native" client better?

If this was already suggested, or even implemented in some fashion... if so, feel free to slap my hand and shut me down here.

it also would be nice if it wouldnt jump to fixed positions and be relative to the current position. currently its like this: player is at 10:15, you skip once it goes to 10:30 instead to 10:45

Please take no offense to your preference. Just want to leave a comment that that's the exact feature that drives me crazy and made me turn to Jellyfin although the time seeking behavior of Jellyfin is still not perfect.
