Description

Scrubbing is very hard due to several bugs:

  • The player never starts at second zero, the first second or so, is always missing
  • the UI is fading away, so as soon as you want to scrub, you are often tapping into nothing
  • The timeline is so close to iOS' app switcher switcher line that often you are switching apps instead of scrubbing through a timeline, even though the whole screen would hold space enough for a very functional wonderful scrubber.

Research direction

Start by reproducing playback and scrubbing on iOS, checking the missing opening second, fading controls, and timeline position near the app-switcher area. Done means playback begins at second zero and the timeline remains reliably visible and usable without triggering app switching.
