[quote davemchine]Hi Rusty, there is an eyehome yahoo group which used to be fairly active but in the last year the administrator has abandoned it. Now it is full of spam and is useless.
In reviewing my posts to that group I can see that the fast forward problem started with the 1.6 update. Several other people posted similar problems at the same time and many regressed back to 1.5.3. A google search shows that there are many others having this problem. I believe I wrote to elgato at one time and they responded that the bitrate needed to be (absurdly) low for the fast forward to work anymore. I stopped using it.
The problem with iTunes could be something particular to my machine. I have no idea.

You mean Jonathan Greene's EyeHome Yahoo group?
I belonged since the beginning, never saw that thread, I'll go back and review the archives.
Again, what format, and what bitrate are you speaking of?
The specs have never changed since day one for file formats and bitrates.
The only thing that has changed was that Apple wouldn't license the iTunes DRM so ElGato rolled out a firmware update so EyeHome couldn't play purchased iTunes. I purchase CD's and rip my own so it didn't affect me.
I record all my TV shows at DiVX Home Theater Highest, it is a 720X480 4Mbs data stream, I have absolutely no problem zipping forward, or reverse, MP2, MP4, VOB, files never an issue either.
If ypu think it is the EyeHome servlet causing the problem, try one of the others to test your theory.

Also Snazzi* Net Cinema has a nice servlet, it isn't on the net, if you need it drop me a PM.
