The function of the app is very problematic compared to the competition. Examples: *When (chrome-)casting a live stream, you cannot move backwards to already played content. *When buffering you cannot se how far you have watched on a programme. When the stream then crashes and forgets where you were, which happens frequently, you have to guess. *Extremely poor performance on slow connections. On YouTube I can watch multiple videos in the time it takes for SVT to display available ones.

You pause the video, and switch apps or lock the phone. Then it just randomly starts playing in the background, with the audio audible. It might randomly start playing again in your pocket, or when you unlock your phone and use some other app. It's been like that for years, really terrible for an otherwise great app. This is the same on an Samsung Galaxy S9, S8 and my daughters Motorola something android phone

Very good choice of things to watch but sometimes fails to cast to chromecast (casting symbol missing). Starting YouTube and cast from there will bring back the cast button to SVT-play. Also in one of five times the SVT-play app isn't populated with anything to watch - only closing SVT-play and restarting it will bring back content to the app. Please fix, these issues have been apparent for as long as I can remember.

Hej Christoph!
Det stämmer att detta är två aktuella buggar med SVT Play-appen. Den första ligger dock tyvärr hos Google att lösa, och vi hoppas att det ska ske snart. Den andra jobbar vi hårt på att lösa.
Hoppas att du gillar appen i övrigt!
