Unable to fast forward/rewind YouTube videos

Where are the fast forward and reverse buttons on YOUTUBE for Apple TV. They are no longer present. You cannot just skip a video anymore. You have to skid through the whole video and wait for it to go to the next video. You cannot rewind either.

On the Apple TV box, you can swipe up or down, to have a timeline overlayed. The ‘playhead’ position on that timeline can then be swiped left or right to rewind or fast forward.

For issues with the YouTube app, please connect with YouTube/​Google for assistance, as they make the app and are responsible for how it behaves.
