Video scrubbing on Android

[Marcosld]

Hello guys!

I'm implementing an app where I want to play a locally saved video and allow the user to do real-time scrubbing. I've implemented a custom slider-like tracker and I am calling seek function to update the player whenever the user moves the thumb. This works perfectly fine on iOS, but on Android seek function takes some time to load the frame the user wants to go to.

I tried to find doc without luck. I just found this release notes that state ExoPlayer should support live scrubbing after enabling a feature: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/media3-180-whats-new.html. Maybe this can be enabled through plugins?

Can you help me achieve this feature?

This is how it behaves on iOS and how I want it to behave on Android:
