Self protection camera playback scrollbar gone

The latest versions of the Xfinity app have removed the scrolling capability when playing back a self protection camera recording. It used to be at the bottom of a full screen playback image. One version moved a tiny scrollbar to the top of the screen. The next version deleted it altogether. It used to be easy to scroll through a two minute segment especially on an iPhone. Now only the +/- 10 second buttons exist. These make it easy to miss the event when searching during playback. Is the scrollbar coming back in an update? Thanks. Steve

Hey there, SFio30, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding the Xfinity app and the playback issues. Do you currently have the latest version of the app and is your phone up to date? Also, what iPhone model are you using? Have you tried the app on any other device?

@XfinityJeniece​ yes I have tried multiple Apple devices (iPhone 15 pro and iPad, both running the latest iOS 18.3.1). All devices have the latest Xfinity app (5.45.0) available on the App Store. The full screen scroll bar disappeared in either the previous version or the one before. The version before that moved the large scroll bar from the bottom to a TINY one right on top of the video download button when viewing an event in full screen (landscape). I don't have any other devices to try it on besides IOS 18.3.1 to check. Thanks.

@SFio30 Have you deleted the Xfinity app and downloaded it again? I have our Pro Protection, and I can see the playback scroll capability below the video on my iPhone. I'm not sure if your view is different from mine.

I have reloaded the Xfinity app and still no scroll bar. Are you using xfinity home with your pro protection? I have  self protection so I can't use xfinity home.
