    For Youtube, if you press and hold the Rewind button, that will rapidly rewind. (Same procedure for fast forward).

    Each Channel/app has their own procedure. (for other channels/apps you may have to hit the rewind or ff button multiple times, ie. 1 press= 1x speed, 2 presses 2x speed, etc).

Press and hold rewind button 95% of the time is useless! Depending on how much you need to rewind to start over you are pressing the rewind button so often you risk breaking the remote.  YouTube’s platform is undoubtedly the worst and I’m surprised in this day and age with the rapid advancement of technology, they continue to get away with it. GOOGLE are you listening?

Over a year later and there’s still no option on Roku YouTube to restart a video that’s stuck in the middle of playing. 

Rewinding an entire video is not the solution. Roku not being lazy and programming an option for us to restart a video is the solution.

    Metard79, Roku has nothing to do with Google/Youtube's app.
