disable seek forward in jwplayer in mobile browser not working

Question

Below is my code.

forward seeking is disabled and its working in desktop browsers. But when it is opened in mobile browsers, disabling forward seek is not working.

<div class="jw_player_box">
        <div id='my-video'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
 jwplayer('my-video').setup({
    file: 'jwplayer/2.mp4',
    flashplayer: "jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf",
    width: '360',
    height: '280',

});

var seek_okay = false;
var max_seen = 0.0; 
  jwplayer().onSeek(function (position, offset) {
    if (!seek_okay) {
      max_seen = Math.max(max_seen, position.position);
      if (position.offset > position.position) {
        seek_okay = true;
        setTimeout(function(){jwplayer().seek(Math.min(max_seen, position.offset))},100);
      }
    } else {
      seek_okay = false;
    }
 });
</script></div>

Any suggestions please

Try this below script.

        var maxPlayPosition = 0.0;
        var seeking = false;

        jwplayer().onTime(function(event) 
        {
            if (!seeking) 
            {
                maxPlayPosition = Math.max(event.position, maxPlayPosition); 
            }
        }).onPlaylistItem(function() 
        {
            maxPlayPosition = 0.0;
        }).onSeek(function (event) 
        {
            if (!seeking) 
            {
                if (event.offset > maxPlayPosition) 
                {
                    seeking = true;
                    setTimeout(function () 
                    { 
                        jwplayer().seek(maxPlayPosition); 
                    }, 100);
                }
            } 
            else 
            {
                seeking = false;
            }    
        });

Origin JWPlayer Prevent SKipping forward unless already watched

This works for me:

var position = 0;

jwplayer().on('time', function(e) {

   var positionDiff = e.position - position;

   if (positionDiff > 1) {
       jwplayer().seek(position);
   } else {
       var position = e.position;
   }
});

If you forward the video, positionDiff will be greater than 1, so I return the video to the previous position.
