You’d have to build your own seekbar to accomplish this. Else, you could try using the JW Player in a WebView. Even though it is currently unsupported, it might help you get around the issue.

Thanks, George.

I want to know that why the chapter marker feature can work in the web, not in the IOS/Android APP, and I also want to know it is can't or you guys think it needn't.

The reasoning behind not having the chapter markers on mobile devices is because if you touch the seek bar it would seek, so it didn’t make much sense to include chapters and thumbnails.

As I mentioned you could try using the Web Player in a WebView to work around this issue.

Great, George. Thank you! BTW, George, we have also discuss this issue by EMAIL yesterday.

I got it. So on mobile devices, We CAN have chapters and thumbnails on the mobile device. Your team just turn these feature off.

Now I say I need these features on the next version, and it is urgent. I am the premium user. You should help me.
I do not have time to implement "Web Player in a WebView".

Here is another question I thought, to help the users to locate the "learning words" handily, Can I put a button on the controlbar, when I click it, the video can directly jump to the "learning words" frame? If it can, which api should I use?

You could place buttons under the player with the word and call .see() to seek to the specific position.

I do not have a code example, here’s the method documentation:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/android/reference/com/longtailvideo/jwplayer/JWPlayerView.html#seek(long)
https://developer.jwplayer.com/sdk/ios/reference/Classes/JWPlayerController.html#//api/name/seek:

The chapters and thumbnails feature is not planned for a future release.
