Bugzilla – Bug 11156
Podcast fast forward/rewind
Last modified: 2009-06-17 09:36:58 UTC
Up until recently I was able to fast forward or rewind through podcasts. The fast forward/rewind buttons on the control would bring up a song position scroll bar, allowing me to scroll in either direction with the buttons or dial. Now the song position bar no longer appears and I can't fast forward or rewind. All I can do is pause and restart. I have version 7.3.r3993 and would appreciate help with getting that nice feature back. Thanks.
Neil: if you reboot the controller, does song scanner work again?
possibly related bug 10763
Email from Customer: -------------------- A couple of times out of the 5 or 6 times I've tried it now, the song scanner did work after rebooting the controller. That's something. Occasionally, pressing the fast forward button several times engages it as well. Is this something that should work consistently without rebooting or are there inherent connection issues that limit the forwarding/rewind capabilities? Thanks. -------------------- Alan: can you comment on this?

James, why do you think that this is a duplicate of 10763?
Rebooting the controller fixes the problem, until it occurs again. This is the same behavior and solution as bug 10763
That turns out to be an erroneous observation. This bug has been introduced by the change in bug 10833. It is specific to known-length remote streams (podcasts). Bug 10763 is different because it applies to local files.
Fixed for most common cases by change 25402. It is still possible that background scanning of a track, used to discover the bitrate when this is not available form HTTP headers, will not have completed before the track starts. In this case, seeking will not be available. This is likely to be unusual and a workaround is to restart the track once and then seek.
This feature seems to be fixed in 7.3.3 r25948 I have spent about 30 minutes trying to break this feature and it has not failed me once.
This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.3 release version of SqueezeCenter!
