Navigation buttons and clip selection indicator in Library Playback window on Website Interface

It would be very helpful to add back Next and Previous navigation buttons on the clip playback window.

 

I think the Arlo web interface used to have navigation buttons on the playback window popup in the library, but now it does not.  Not having the ability to navigate foward and backwards from one clip to another is very cumbersome, as you have to close the playback window just to view the next or prior recording/image. In addition, when you do close the playback window, the clip you just played in not highlighted in the library so you easily loose track of which clip you just viewed. This causes wasted time trying to figure out which one you just viewed...when the playback window is closed, at the very least that clip previously selected to watch should be highlighted or have a box around it to indicate your current selection/current position on viewing clips.

When opening a recording from the library, there is a "scrubber" along the bottom of the video, where you can drag a round cursor across the timeline to quickly move to a certain point in the video. However - to use the scrubbing function you must first click on the play button, then pause the video, and only then can you drag the scrubbing cursor to navigate in the video timeline.

 

My suggestion is to allow us to use the scrubber to navigate the timeline of the video also before pressing play. This way, when reviewing a set of videos, we could quickly drag the scrubbing icon to check for interesting motion, and then either play back the video, delete it, or move on to the next one.
