Learn how to use FastPix Player to improve seek performance with precise time control, and enhance the video navigation experience.

FastPix Player offers configurable seek functionality attributes that help enhance how viewers interact with video content. By adjusting the seek settings, you can give users precise control over how they navigate through videos, making their experience more intuitive and efficient.


Fast-forward video

Attribute: forward-seek-offset (value in seconds)

This attribute defines the default distance in seconds that the video will jump ahead when the fast-forward function is activated. While the default is typically set to 10 seconds, you can customize this value to better align with your content.

For example, setting forward-seek-offset="15" will move the playback forward by 15 seconds whenever the fast-forward action is triggered.


Example configuration:

1<fastpix-player
2 playback-id="{Playback_id}"
3 forward-seek-offset="15"
4></fastpix-player>

Rewind video

Attribute: backward-seek-offset (value in seconds)

Using this attribute you can specify the number of seconds the video will rewind when the user activates the rewind function. By default, this is set to 10 seconds, but you can modify it as needed. For instance, setting backward-seek-offset="5" will make the rewind action move the playback 5 seconds back.


Example configuration:

1<fastpix-player
2 playback-id="{Playback_id}"
3 backward-seek-offset="5"
4></fastpix-player>

Customizing the rewind offset enhances the viewer’s ability to revisit specific parts of the video quickly. Whether users need to rewatch a key point or review content with precision, adjusting this offset ensures they can do so in increments that match their needs. You can set the rewind offset to correspond with the typical level of detail viewers need to revisit in your content.
