While listening to podcasts from spotify the 'rewind' and 'fast foward' no longer work

Hello, 

While running i normally listen 1hour - 3hour podcasts. Sometimes if dont finish a podcast so i resume where i left off by skipping to that point, or rewinding to hear something again. however the 'rewind' and 'fast foward' feature is broken in version 26, its really annoying as I cant listen to my podcasts from the watch anymore.


I have tried rewind and fast foward from the buttons on the Fenix 6 Pro and also the head phones, they no longer work. This is an annoying bug. This bug was picked up and a ticket rasied in beta and not fixed. 

Does anyone know of a workaround?

  • I can see just "rewind", and it actually goes forward. So, yes, I can not bring the podcast back (to the beginning).

    It is Spotify app v 1.6.7.

    Kind of workaround: I created a playlist for podcasts where I put my podcasts, and in this case they are treated as normal songs what means you can fatforward/rewind.
