fast forward

does anyone experienced problems with fast forward in serviio+linux ubuntu?
It plays at normal speed works, but fast forward interrupts the stream. I experienced it with normal avi files.
I remember in the past a similar issue, deriving from a specific ffmpeg package build.
Thank you

built on Mar 22 2012 05:09:06 with gcc 4.6.3
This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).

try to get FFmpeg from the main branch, not the one from libAV - you can download sources from serviio website

I know, and it's unsupported with Serviio. I'll stick with the main FFmpeg distribution.
