I am having trouble fast forwarding and&nbsp;resuming&nbsp;mp4&nbsp;format&nbsp;movies. &nbsp;When fast forwarding the audio mutes and the display shows the speed but the video does not fast forward but continues to play. &nbsp;When pressing play the audio returns. &nbsp;Basically the fast forward feature acts just like a mute button.

&nbsp;

Also when resuming a movie I get a white screen and nothing else. &nbsp;Starting a movie from the beginning works fine.

&nbsp;

Are these known issues?

I have this issue, but only when I have the Pi set to force transcoding.

It appears this is still an issue with RasPlex 0.2.2.

Is this still on the backlog/issuelist?

Some details:

I've noticed this while playing an MKV file.

It's being transcoded on the server.

Sound mutes, I see the fast-forward on the screen (or backward, which doesn't work also), but screen is still at normal speed.

Also, it looks like RasPlex doesn't 'see' the complete movie. When at 02:45 it tells me the movie ends at 03:12 (or something like that). This probably has something to do with the transcoding and buffer size (I don't know how the system works, but this seemed like a logical explanation).

If necessary I can provide logs (I think), but it's not like the system is crashing. The functionality just doesn't work.
