Not an officially documented or public API available for this but you can try doing it like this:

JS

player.addEventListener("media-seek-request", event => {
  const originEvent = event.originEvent;
  if (originEvent && 'MEDIA_GESTURE' in originEvent) {
    // ...
  }
});

React

import { type MediaSeekRequestEvent } from '@vidstack/react';

function onSeekRequest(time: number, nativeEvent: MediaSeekRequestEvent) {
  const originEvent = event.originEvent;
  if (originEvent && 'MEDIA_GESTURE' in originEvent) {
    // ...
  }
}

<MediaPlayer onMediaSeekRequest={onSeekRequest}>

excuse me, may i know if we can still be able to detect if the user is double tab left or right? i really want to differentiate them, thanks.

Check if the seek request time is less than or greater than current time.

left = time < currentTime
right = time > currentTime
