You could only move in the video via the new remote’s touchpad control on the video timeline.  That touchpad is probably great for a lot of things, but doing 30 second skips is not one of them.

What is the exact name?  Can you provide a link?

Re playing un-transcoded recordings, is your AppleTV on a wired connection or wireless (which flavour)?

I don’t have a new Apple TV, but I understand that at least some players implement a 10 second skip forward/back by tapping on the right/left of the player bar.  Have you tried that?

Thanks for the report!
