Thanks for the response.

Following the dev posting you referenced above I created the following
entries in my settings table:
mysql> select * from settings where value like 'FFRewSpeed%';
+-------------+------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+-------------+------+----------+
FFRewSpeed0  	1  	NULL
FFRewSpeed1 	5 	NULL
FFRewSpeed2 	20 	NULL
FFRewSpeed3 	60 	NULL
FFRewSpeed4 	180 	NULL
FFRewSpeed5 	360 	NULL
FFRewSpeed6 	720 	NULL
FFRewSpeed7 	1800 	NULL
+-------------+------+----------+

I thought setting the first entry to 1 would be 1x, in other words realtime.
That way when I hit Rewind it would essentially be -1x. 

This raises 2 problems:

1.  It isn't -1x, it is -1 second.  So the play is choppy jumping back 1
second at a time.

2.  For some reason, fast forward no longer works.  If I hit it, the Play
box pops up on the screen similar to me pressing "information" for Position.
Then the box goes away, pressing FF multiple times does nothing.  There are
no messages in my Myth frontend log file.
