Hi,
We have installed UMS in our residential home; this app is superb and hats off to the all developers and support team.
Videos playing through web interface is superb and having good quality; Only issue that Forward and Reversion function is not working.
only Play and Stop Buttons are working,
Is it a bug for all users or only I am facing that issue.

Please reply

Did you try more files with different video encoding?

From time to time I have some videos were forward and reverse is not working, too.

You could try to transcode the files and try forward and reverse then.

Long time user of PS3 Media server. Newbie to UMS.
{editted]: I didn't read your question properly. You are using the web interface which is not something that I use to watch my
videos on my TV. My response is to streaming to a Smart TV and not through a web interface.

Are you re-encoding your videos when playing them? If so, my swag is that the answer is no. But perhaps UMS is buffering enough
video to allow for it. I can't do it either so I have a feeling it is the nature of the beast when transcoding.
But do you need to transcode/re-encode your video? Probably not for quite a bit of video formats.

To turn off transcoding and pass the video format directly to your TV/device, go to the Transcoding Settings tab and enter
the file extensions that don't need to be re-encoded into the field, "Skip Transcoding for the following extensions. Like this:
mkv,mp4,flv,avi

Waiting to see the answer on this one.
