How to skip forward in CBC Gem Olympic coverage?

by Joeltronics

I have a Shield Pro, I'm in Canada, and I'm trying to watch Olympic events from last night in CBC Gem. I can start watching a past event just fine, but it starts from the beginning, and there doesn't seem to be a way to skip forward. I've tried the fast-forward button, moving around with the directional buttons, and using a mouse, and none have worked. I can play & pause, and I can show the playbar, but I can't skip forward. I can skip forward fine on my phone or in a web browser on my laptop - but with both, as soon as I start Chromecasting, it goes back to the start and doesn't let me skip forward.

I figure there must be other Canadians in here who have had this problem - has anyone solved it? I don't really want to rewatch the first 5 hours of cycling road race...

There is a CBC Olympics app that allows to to skip around, and it is better setup to find the events you want. There's no TV app though as far as I can tell, so you have to cast from another device. Still, it works really well.

Sportsnet is covering some Olympics events and offering replays thru their app, if you subscribe to their service (either standalone or thru cable/streaming cable). They have an Android TV app and you can fast-forward thru their replays, including the Olympics replays.

Other CBC GEM on-demand streams besides the Olympics can be fast-fowarded thru, and web browser and Apple TV replays don't have this problem, so this seems to be limited to their Olympics replays on Android TV/Fire TV.

On the CBC Gem app using chromecast from a phone, when you un-chromecast it, the fast forward slider bar comes up. You can fast forward to where you want, and then re-chromecast it.
