Prevent forward seeking


Overview

The Kaltura player supports forward and backward seeking. See Playback functionality for more information. The Prevent seek plugin allows you adjust seeking capabilities of the player. 

Prevent forward seek - allows you to prevent seeking forward beyond the maximum current seek time.

Prevent seek - allows you to prevent seeking completely (both backwards and forwards).

If the plugin is enabled, when hovering over the scrubber, thumbnails and chapters do not display on the timeline, nor do any other cue points. 

The Navigation plugin displays chapters, slides, and hotspots located before the max seek position (the furthest the user has gotten in the video). 

Setup

To learn how to set the Prevent forward seeking plugin on the player, see The Kaltura Player Studio Admin Guide - Player Settings

Seeking from the Navigation and Transcript plugins are aligned with the Prevent forward seeking plugin.
