Unable to rewind/fast forward video when watching through LG Smart TV

Hi,

We have our WD My Book Live connected to our new LG Smart TV (Model# 42LN5710) and it recognises and plays all file types which is great but it won’t allow me to rewind or fast forward any of the video which is very annoying. 

We used to have the WD MBL connected through the PS3 and you could rewind and fast forward fine though the PS3 didn’t play all file types and our new LG TV does. So is this an LG TV issue? Does anyone know if there is any way around this?

If I should be posting this in the LG forums I apologise.

thebomp,

DLNA-compliant Media Servers provide different options (Depending on the manufacturer) while accessing and playing media files. This is the reason as to why you experience a different behavior between your Sony PlayStation 3 and your LG Smart TV even though they both play media files from the same WD my Book Live Personal Cloud Storage unit,
