These commands all still exist:

/player/navigation/moveRight
/player/navigation/moveLeft
/player/navigation/moveDown
/player/navigation/moveUp
/player/navigation/select
/player/navigation/back

Your bigStepForward is trickier.

/player/playback/stepBack seeks back 15 seconds, or the expected platform value.
/player/playback/stepForward seeks forward 30 seconds, or the expected platform value.
/player/playback/seekTo?offset=XXX

It there a way to query the current offset and roll my own bigStepForward

Use:

/player/timeline/poll?wait=0

to get a current "timeline" with details on what's playing, including offset and duration.

Possibly needed:

  • Client MUST pass the X-Plex-Client-Identifier header with this request to allow the player to track these more ephemeral subscribers (just pass anything).
  • Note that commandID must be sent to this endpoint too, this allows debouncing with commands sent (again, pass anything).
