EricE 2 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I am using media player on Xbox One accessing Media Browser 3 on my PC. I am not savvy on this stuff so please forgive any ignorance I expose. I just found the Media Player on Xbox last night, prior to that I was using IE on Xbox and in that player I had no fast forward / rewind. In Media Player I sometimes have it and sometimes don’t. I think it is related to the type of file I am playing. MKV’s don’t seem to have the support while WMV’s do. Am I stuck converting all files to WMVs to get fast forward / rewind support? Can anyone post a list of file types that do work vs. those that don’t? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickgrill 5 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I would love to know about this also. not being able to fast forward is a big pain. I cant even seem to skip ahead at all to a certain part of a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricE 2 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I found that MKVs don't fast forward for me. I convert them to WMVs or AVIs and all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Probably has something to do with native support for WMv files and Xbox, although I heard that MKV files are supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyers 0 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm still having the same problem. Any updates? Even if the browser version from mediaplayer would fast forward would be fine. I can get it to fast forward, but when I hit play it just hangs and eventually displays an error that the file cannot be played. They are M4V formatted files.
