Are you using the Roku Media Player on your Roku 3. Have you tried using an encoder like the free Handbrake program to encode video files? Is Twonky incorrectly recognising the Roku as some other Media Receiver Type? (See the Twonky UI → Sharing → Media Receivers .)
Using a Roku 2 XS with the Roku Media Player channel I have no problems fast forwarding, rewinding, pausing video content stored on the WD My Cloud. When there is a problem playing video it is 99.9% of the time a problem with the video file itself with either how it was encoded or was something like a 4K HD video. Running the video file through Handbrake usually fixes encoding problems. Otherwise no problems playing 720 and 1080 video resolution videos through Twonky. I also have my Roku hard wired as I ran into problems time to time with WiFi (Wireless N) trying to keep up for higher bitrate video files.
