Issue with Rewind and Fast-Forward on Long Press of Track Buttons on Android

[vlzuykov]

I have an Android device with dedicated buttons for previous track, play/pause, and next track. When I'm playing podcasts and long press the previous or next track buttons, they skip to the next or previous episode instead of rewinding or fast-forwarding. Can this be fixed?

All my settings are set to default.

By default, the previous track button should skip to the previous episode, and the next track button should skip to the next episode.

You can go to the app Settings > Media player > 'Bluetooth/headset key mapping' to remap the key action to fast rewind or fast forward.

Other audio players skip to the next or previous track when the 'Next Track' or 'Previous Track' button is pressed. However, with a long press on these buttons, they fast forward or rewind. I want the fast forwarding or rewinding to occur specifically during a long press on these buttons.

If inside the app, we already have separated/dedicated buttons for those actions. IMHO, it's easier to use the dedicated buttons instead of the long pressing gesture.

If it's a remote device such as a Bluetooth headset then typically the long pressing gesture is only available for the Play/Pause button.
