Re: Fast Forward and Rewind Issue - RokuTV and HDHomeRun DVR Recordings

Jump to solution

I recently switched from cable tv to Roku streaming.  I have two Roku Express 4K devices.  I record programs from network TV, but when I later watch the programs, when I fast forward thru commercials, it doesn't show the recording movie forward.  No way to know when the commercials are over.  I am constantly "guessing" when to restart the program, it is frustrating and annoying.  Is there a fix for this yet?  Not acceptable!!!!

@MarshaW, there's no fix and I doubt there ever will be.  Roku requires a set of thumbnails to be created for a video to be shown during FF/Rewind.  The devices can't create them on the fly.  Maybe someday, but don't hold your breath.  It's possible to create them yourself, but it's not trivial.
