…y the previous episode, and keep the TV's own channel buttons from leaving the app Channel up and down on the focused seek bar jump five times the configured step, or three percent of the runtime on a long video, so a film can be crossed in a few seconds of holding the key. They do nothing anywhere else in the player. Previous played the video again from the start. On an episode it now steps back to the episode before it in air order, rolling back into the previous season, the way Next steps on. A movie, a first episode or a failed lookup still restarts it. The channel, channel list, previous channel and guide keys, and any key the TV lists by the name of a streaming service, are registered so the TV hands them to the app instead of switching away.

lower-numbered seasons when lastPlayableEpisode returns null for the preceding
season. Return the first playable episode found, and return null only after all

Review comments at @packages/app/src/utils/channelKeys.js:
- Line 7: Remove the webos entry from the channel-key mapping in channelKeys so
Page Up/Down codes 33 and 34 are not treated as channel buttons. Leave other
platform mappings unchanged and rely on the existing Left/Right hold shortcut
unless a supported webOS channel event is established.
Review comments at @packages/app/src/utils/channelSeek.js:
- Around line 22-24: Update holdSeekSeconds to ramp the seek distance gradually
after the first six presses instead of switching directly to the full channel
jump on the seventh. Preserve the normal step for the first six presses and cap
the increasing intermediate steps at channelSeekSeconds(seekStep,
durationSeconds).
- Line 15: Update nextHoldStreak and the player callbacks that use it to reset
the streak on key release or a change between Left and Right; only advance the
streak for consecutive presses in the same direction while the key remains held.
Review comments at @packages/app/src/views/Player/TizenPlayer.js:
- Around line 1531-1533: In loadMedia, reset previousEpisode at the start of
every item load, before branching by item type; keep populating it only for
episodes. In handlePrevious, use previousEpisode only when the current item is
an episode, and include item.Type in the callback dependencies.
Review comments at @packages/app/src/views/Player/WebOSPlayer.js:
- Around line 1141-1143: Update the getPreviousEpisode callback in the Episode
branch to check the load’s cancelled flag before calling setPreviousEpisode, so
results from stale loads are discarded.

Wait for the previous-episode lookup before falling back.
getPreviousEpisode waits on a server request, but isLoading can become false before it resolves. If a remote Playstate PreviousTrack arrives during that interval, handlePrevious still sees previousEpisode as null and calls handlePrevTrack, which seeks the current video to zero instead of playing its predecessor. Track the lookup’s pending state separately, and make handlePrevious wait for the result before choosing the predecessor or restart.
