Re: Fast-Forward does not work in Front Row with Beo4

Today, my dealer updated my BV 7-40 to the latest firmware.

Still a few problems exist with the integration of my MacBook Pro:

* I cannot put the Mac into Stby by any action. I tried different settings in the new BV menu Options -> Connections -> AV5 -> V.MEM -> Source -> V.MEM -> Apple Remote -> Standby Options , but any of offered options is putting the Mac into standby.

* With the original Mac remote control you can fast forward/rewind within a audio track in FrontRow by holding ArrowRight/-Left. When doing the same with Beo4, FrontRow however moves directly to the next/previous track. There is no chance to scan through a music track. Scanning through Video tracks work fine though.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

JK, just to make sure: Fast-Forward works for video here but it does not work for music tracks here.

Can you confirm please that the updated STB handles both properly?

P.S.: Too bad that they did not yet addressed the essentially important StandBy issue.

They fixed that in one of the later Apple Remote STB releases. I know for sure that in the first attempt that they brought out it wasn't working.

You may need your software updated.

I would though take a look first at the capability of the ATV to learn remote signals. If you find an existing STB/PUC hat fully supports the navigation cross and "exit" I would use that. Reason, you could add the "holding" the go button and fast forward and backward.

In fact, I would try and see if this could be done with the existing STB/PUC. Maybe it still sends some sort of IR signal out that thats just different from what the AATV understands.

I too do not have FF working and wish I had. However I do not have fast scrolling working either. jk1002 how did you get fast scrolling going with a Beo4? I'd love to know.

Yes, fast forwading never worked for me either but I dont care much as I have fast scrolling.

If I hold the Arrow-Right button, Front Row does start fast-forwarding the current track for a 1 second but then stumbles to the next track. Known bug?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
