Make playback of streams more user friendly
Watching streams that are not live can be a bit of a pain at times. It’d be nice to feature options such as “jump to” icons like 15 second forward or 15 second backwards. There is also currently a bug whee after pausing a replay stream, the audio cuts out.

In case anyone else is looking for this... you can use arrow keys (also 'J' and 'L') to go back/forward 10 seconds.

There was some discussion about implementing this for live streams some time ago, which is definitely more involved. Oddly enough, adding features to video playback seems to be lower on the priority list for some reason...
You can always append a timestamp to the end of the video URL like this:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1234567890?t=1h01m10s
This will let you get second-level precision, which helps for the longer videos. Until recently, timestamps would only support multiples of 10s, so linking to specific moments in videos wouldn't work, but I think they fixed this.
I know this doesn't provide as enjoyable a viewing experience as a simple rewind or skip forward button would, but again Twitch likely doesn't see much 'value' in video playback so support here will be unlikely.

I watch 8 hour+ video streams and it is impossible to precisely navigate the video timelines to get to the segments I care about. Can you program a +-15 second button into the video player for more precise skipping/ rewinding?
