Fast Forward not working on some videos

Recommended Posts

I am using media player on Xbox One accessing Media Browser 3 on my PC.  I am not savvy on this stuff so please forgive any ignorance I expose.

I just found the Media Player on Xbox last night, prior to that I was using IE on Xbox and in that player I had no fast forward / rewind.  In Media Player I sometimes have it and sometimes don’t.  I think it is related to the type of file I am playing.  MKV’s don’t seem to have the support while WMV’s do.  Am I stuck converting all files to WMVs to get fast forward / rewind support?  Can anyone post a list of file types that do work vs. those that don’t?  Thank you in advance.

I would love to know about this also.  not being able to fast forward is a big pain.  I cant even seem to skip ahead at all to a certain part of a movie.

Probably has something to do with native support for WMv files and Xbox, although I heard that MKV files are supported.

I'm still having the same problem.  Any updates? Even if the browser version from mediaplayer would fast forward would be fine.  I can get it to fast forward, but when I hit play it just hangs and eventually displays an error that the file cannot be played.  They are M4V formatted files.
