Rewinding/FF Blu-rays
« on: July 12, 2014, 02:40:07 pm »
Hey,

DVDs are absolutely fine. When I Rew/FF a blu, it 'starts off' OK, but after 2 seconds or so the image and time bar 'freeze' so you don't know where it's rewinded/ff to. But it does actually do it because when you hit play again it plays from that point.

I just can't see where it's gone to, so have no control. A bit like doing it with a blindfold on.

Use jumping with the left and right arrow instead.

Do you mean the directional arrows, or scene skip arrows?

The directional arrows on the keyboard or MCE remote.

OK, thanks. Is this a general known 'issue' when FF/Rew blus using the normal keys?

On the subject of the MCE remote - I have an MS certified, 'Green Button' remote that is listed as eHome Infrared Device in Device Manager, yet when I go to the remote section in MC, it tells me I don't have an MCE remote.

Does MC look specifically for your HP supplied one?

No, it'll work with pretty much any Windows MCE remote.  Or should.

Are you sure you have the drivers installed properly for the remote?

Seeking is quite difficult to do... There have been discussions about it here in the past, if you're curious:

I can't comment on whether it works well or not right now because I always use the "skip-style" seeking (30 sec fwd, 10 sec back style).

Seeking on Blu-rays works just fine.

When I read FF/Rew, I always think about actual fast-forward playback, and rewind/backwards playback, which is NOT supported properly outside of DVDs.

That's what I meant. Should have said scrubbing, not seeking.

There aren't any separate 'drivers' as such are there - the official Microsoft Green Button remotes have drivers built-in to Windows.

The remote does actually work. It' just weird that the Remote options doesn't detect it, but theater view will.

For comparison, if I play a physical blu in my PS3, rew/ff is fine. Are you saying it's not supported properly outside of DVDs, in MC?

Yikes!

But surely going back a few seconds because you missed a bit is an absolutely fundamental feature of video playback! When I download On Demand content to my set top box, presumably that's a file too, and rew/ffw works fine.

By the way, by ffw and rew I do mean going back/forwards at a faster rate.

Of course, you were inquiring about MC after all, weren't you? :)

You can skip in the video just fine, you just can't do it with "fast-forward" (or even worse, backwards). Any media center remote has left/right arrows, which will skip in the video, 30s forward, 10s backwards by default, iirc, which allows full flexibility to go back and re-watch something you missed.
