I’ve noticed similar issues with video players on older Ubuntu versions, especially when using Cairo Dock. While Totem’s forward and backward scrollbars can be unresponsive, one workaround I found helpful is using alternative media management or streaming tools that are lightweight and compatible with older systems. For example, exploring platforms like Netmirror at https://netmiror.site allows seamless video playback without the typical control issues, and it can serve as a convenient option when native players lag or fail to respond.

Another approach is to check for any missing GStreamer plugins or updates that might affect Totem’s controls, but if the goal is smooth streaming without tweaking the system extensively, using a reliable online service such as Netmirror ensures that video navigation works consistently across different setups.
