Hello. I am using MBC version 3.0.73.0, MB3 server version 3.0.5029.36830. My OS is Windows 7.

 

When watching any video file in MBC when I try to fast forward or rewind, it doesn't work. The OSD comes up but nothing happens. Is the FF and RW keyboard shortcuts the same for MBC as it is for MCE? The skip forward and skip backwards function just fine, just not FF or RW.

 

Thanks.

This is a limitation of playback of some media types within WMC.  One thing that works in all of them, I think, is to punch in a number (like 30) and then hit FF and it will move ahead that number of seconds.

 

Also, there are add-on products like MediaControl that will allow you to FF/RW some formats that WMC can't natively.

Thanks for your response. I just wasn't sure if I was doing something incorrectly or not. So this sounds like a media center issue, not a MBC issue?

Correct.  We just hand off the playback to either WMC or an external player.  I've found the "enter the seconds and FF" to work very well.
