"Rewind" button does not work to restart the song

[MMachado05]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

The rewind button (on the Flatpak release, at least) only serves to go back a song, and doesn't support returning to the beginning of the currently-playing song.

Expected Behavior

Admittedly, this could be a design choice, but I feel a much more intuitive function would be for the button to support both rewinding and returning to a previous song. Most audio providers do this by having it be "rewind" if the song is past a few seconds, and "go back" if it's before then. This would make it much easier to continuously go back if you're only listening to one song on repeat, like I like to do.

Steps to reproduce

Just go back during a song. Again, it may not be a bug, just a design decision I disagree with.

Operating System

Kubuntu 22.04.3

Spotube version

v3.7.1 Build number 32

Installation source

Flathub (Flatpak)

Additional information

May need to make a separate Issue for this if it's unrelated, but I notice the audio playback buttons on my keyboard don't work for Spotube, nor does hovering over it provide the skip/rewind buttons the native Spotify app does.

Almost a year and a half since this issue was open and still no song restart.

Well, it's an open-source project that he works on in his spare time, that additionally nearly got nuked by a C&D from a multi-billion dollar corporation... there's nothing stopping one of us from implementing the fix!

But it would be nice to get this feature working, whenever it's possible.
