Q: MLB app, fast forward, rewind

What on earth happened to the MLB app's ability to fast forward and rewind? The swipe left and right are simply ignored!

 

I'm using the latest Apple TV and MLB app. This is a killer bug!

    I don't know anything about the MLB app however wanted to point out that the 9.2 update made a slight hangs to rew/FF on the ATV4 in general. You now have to click to pause then swipe to scrub. However, I have seen numerous complaints about this MLB app will minimal/nonexistent support from MLB (who designed and supports the app). I don't know if this is the same issue or not but worth mentioning...

    Wow. That worked. Thanks so much!

    I did not know Apple pushed an update last week. Wonder why they don't have pause implemented as part of the scrub motion. Pause-then-scrub must be a temp workaround as Apple is not fond if clunky extra steps.

    As for the MLB app, they have a ways to go. I had rated it a 2/5. I'll bump it up to 3 in light of this issue being Apple's.

    IF you look through these forums there was widespread frustration due to accidental scrubbing I.e. The remote scrubs when the user just touches the trackpad.  I can only assume that the Apple feedback link was inundated requiring Apple to do something to reduce frustration. I generally use the old silver remote or my harmony 1 universal rather than the new Siri remote...
