First of all, I’m loving the new clean experience with images. But it has thrown up an issue with videos in that the overlays are actually quite important there (play, pause, mute, scrub, etc). So, could those be separate settings for different kinds of media?

One other thing I miss from Apollo days is ’drag to scrub’. If that were possible on Mlem, it would be fantastic.

Good point, we'll make the video controls show on tap in the next TestFlight 👍

In Mlem, you can drag your finger left/right on a video to scrub, and move your finger up/down to change scrubbing speed. I didn't use Apollo, so am not familiar with whether they did it differently. If you'd prefer a different behavior let me know.

Hmm. I wasn’t seeing that functionality when I last checked. Does it depend on the type of video? I’ll look out for something suitable to share.

Edit: so I found a video and it worked :). However, once the controls are shown by scrubbing, I can’t see a way to get rid of them, so yes it probably does need the old ‘tap’ behaviour.
