  1. Please put a fast-forward button on your movies. It’s not always possible to watch the whole movie in one sitting so would prefer not to have to go through it again. Dragging the button doesn’t work.

      1. This is what does not work. I drag it but it snaps back to almost where it was. I have to do it again and again and again in order to end up where I want to be.

        1. You’re quite right,it does snapback almost to where it was, until more of the movie has been downloaded. Once the movie is fully downloaded you should be able to drag the play head back and forth.
