youtube videos cannot be forwarded


Posted on Jul 15, 2014 by Swift Bear

TV: LG 47GA6400 47" Class 1080p Edge LED 3D Google TV. Software version: jelly bean

Steps to reproduce the problem: open you tube, play a video, click forward after couple of minutes of buffering, if the video is not buffered completely, which will not anyway, after you click on forward button on the LG remote, on older version of you tube app it used to wait at the forwarded point for few seconds for buffering and then it used to continue playing the video

But now if i forward a video for five minutes, it is restarting the video from the Beginning.

This is the worst bug i have encountered on youtube so far.

Correct behaviour should be: Lets say if the video is for 1 hour, if i forward it to 30min, it has to wait there till the video buffers and then play, without restarting the video from the start.
