[mythtv-users] WAF Emergency - FFwd not working smoothly, Commercial skip being a LITTLE flakey.

[David]

Odd.

On my system a copy and a symlink have the same behaviour.
I obviously saw the same archive entry and I didn't believe it (!) so I
tried both a symlink and copy and made sure to restart Myth etc etc.

Maybe permissions?
What distro? I'm on Debian testing.

PS, by fwd/rew, do you mean the 5/30 second skip? or do you mean double
speed/reverse speed playback?
I mean the 5/30 skipping.
