I think I explained what I was talking about rather well. Trying to view a piece of media in its highest release format isn’t something that’s always feasible. Anything even a few years old can to difficult to source. Ask anyone rebuilding a library after a drive failure. It’s even worse if what you’re trying to get had low viewership - it means an even smaller pool of people bothering to host the data.
While I’m sure this is a niche situation within a niche situation, hosting your own media library locally allows offline playback. Quite nice in during a thunderstorm. Not an option with what you’ve described as your methods, but again, definitely an uncommon use case.
Might just be me, but I don’t like double tap to skip. Findroid has another scrubbing method I’ve not seen anywhere else but I wish it were the standard.
When you drag your finger to the right, it says how far you’re about to skip ahead. The longer your swipe, the further you go. When you release, it scrubs to that timestamp. Same with going backwards.
I find it faster, more accurate, and more versatile. The only thing I don’t like about the Findroid player is the UI timeout is twice as long as I need it to be.
