Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

I have a Sharp ROKU Remote for Living Room TV and another for Bedroom TV.  I can Fast Forward with Remote in Bedroom to Skip Brief Sections.  But when I press the Same Fast Forward Button on Living Room Remote, it goes TOO Fast and I can not just skip a brief portion.  Can I Adjust the Remote so I can Fast Forward through BRIEF Sections without going Several Minutes ahead?

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

I have a Roku 3 with the same issue. It seems to have just started within the last week or two. I have to fast rewind-fast forward-fast rewind-fast forward over and over to try to get to where I want to be. Waste of time. Very frustrating. Did Roku push an update that caused this? Does anyone have a solution for it?

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

Same.  This started today with Roku 3 and Amazon Prime. Fast forward on the first press advances about 2 minutes of video per second. The 2nd & 3rd speeds are all the same. This feature has never been right; it used to be 4 seconds at a time, then 8 seconds at a time, then 12-15 minutes at a time for the 3rd step. I thought that was bad but now it's unusable.

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

I haven't experienced this issue, but have you tried using the Left/Right arrow buttons instead of <</>>?  Each click should go about 10 seconds.

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

renojim, thank you for this info. The single arrow buttons do just what you said.

I'm having the same issue.  Out of the blue a week ago this started happening with the Prime Video channel.  I'd like the functionality to return to what it was.

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

I'm having the same problem and it started a few days ago. I noticed there was an update on June 7th.  Likely cause?

Re: Fast Forward Speed TOO Fast

I'm having the same problem and my remote does not have a single arrow right or left so I am stuck with Fast forward and Fast Reverse and it is way too fast!  We need this to be fixed please!
