Enable seek functionality

1. In the Playback Options section, find Seek increments and click the gear icon to enable the setting.

• To select from one of two preset seek increments, click to select the first option, then click the down arrow and choose your desired increment - 5 or 10 (default). The skip buttons will display the corresponding number (5 or 10) to indicate the amount of time the user can skip.
• To set your own custom seek increment, click to select "Custom seek", then type your desired increment. The skip buttons are displayed without a number, even though skipping is still enabled.

2. Click Save at the top right of the settings page.

For the user guide, see Seek increments.
