Fast Forwarding more than 15 secs?

I have the Roku Premiere, but it won’t fast forward more than 15 sec increments using YouTube TV. Any tips? I tried the directional arrow and fast forward icon/button.

Any Help?

    Thanks for the post.

    For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact Youtube TV support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

    You can reach Youtube TV support here: https://support.google.com/youtubetv/?hl=en#topic=7071745
     

    Thanks,
    Danny

      The suggestion that You Tube has anything to do with ff rates  is flat out wrong. As others have reported, Ultra ff’s slowly whereas Sticks ff at a high rate. Please investigate your own product issues, Roku.

      I had the same problem with my Ultra. My three Sticks worked fine but the Ultra only fast forwarded at the 15 sec rate. I solved the problem by performing a system restart ( SETTINGS-SYSTEM-SYSTEM RESTART.). I realized that the Ultra was the only Roku plugged into power continuously.  The Sticks received power through their respective USB ports. These sticks restarted every time the TV was turned off whereas the Ultra never did. Removing and restoring power fixes many computer intermittents. I hope this fixes yours!

      So why is it that my roku stick lets me fast forward x2 and x3 but the roku TV makes me hit the fast forward button every time to skip 15 sec forward??? If it’s all YouTube’s fault then why is it not across all roku products? YouTube doesn’t upload changes to the app without getting approval from roku before doing so. 

      so what’s the answer?

        Waiting for Roku to fix this issue it's not YOUTUBE TV FireTV fast-forwards just fine. I have the Roku Ultra and what a pain to go through a long golf tournament 15 seconds at a time. Fix it.

    Had the same problem. I reset everything twice. Nothing helped. I then put in fresh batteries. That did the trick for me. Worth a try.
