Not seeing the small pictures when I FF/REW on live TV or recorded/live shows

[cashonly]

I am Not seeing the small pictures when I FF/REW on live TV or when a show is still recording and I start it. Is this expected action? Shouldn't I be able to see the small pictures on FF/REW in these situations, not just on fully recorded shows?

Not seeing thumbnails

I just setup Channels DVR. I have a Windows Server and am using Insignia Fire TV for one TV and a Fire TV box on another. I downloaded the Fire TV Channels app and it is able to show live TV and record shows. But when I Fast Forward or rewind in live or recorded shows, I don't see any thumbnails of where I'm at in the show. I thought I was supposed to be able to see thumbnails when I do that. What am I missing?

The Android client does not provide this and I wish it did.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is because of how the streams are received/saved. Those images are embedded frames, but generally not present in live broadcasts. Adding them would require both post-processing from Channels, as well as support for their in their custom video player.

Channels does not show thumbs while scrubbing, this isn’t a bug, it just doesn’t do it.
