Sony rewind, fast forward + slider.
I have a Sony KDL40W5500U
And it is very picky as to what it will play, as per another ongoing thread in this forum.
However I would like to discuss rewind and fast forward + being able to select a point in the video using a "slider".
The Sony remote had fast forward and rewind buttons.
It also has a ring on the remote and pressing left or right does rewind/fast forward.
I recently discovered if you press left (or right) down and hold it down then a slider bar pops up and you can instantly slide to what ever point in the video you want.
Out of the various media servers I have tried the only one where this seems to fully work is (I hate to say it) the media server on my Windows 7 laptop, cough cough spit spit.
Others the ff/rewind partially works but the slider rarely works. With Serviio when I hold the ring down instead of a slider I get a message to the effect of function not available.
Also does the type of video affect the functionality some formats don't seem to want to ff/rewind ( not just with Sony ).
I am not complaining just wanting some feed back from users !
Thanks
Jim
