I’ve got a WDTV Live Plus that I use to watch my MKV files. I’ve noticed that about 20% of the MKV’s I create with MakeMKV will not let me FF or Rewind when playing them on the WDTV Live. The unit tells me that it does not support trick mode. All of these MKV’s that won’t let me do FF or Rewind also stop playing after about 80% of the movie is done.
Since I can’t FF or RW, I can’t just start up again and FF to where it stopped. I’m not doing anything different on these than any other MKV’s that I create. I have gone to my PC and used VLC to see if there is more content at the end of the video file and there is. So I don’t know why the movies are stopping near the end.
By the way, I am playing the files off a hard drive. It’s not networked.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can you give me an idea why this is happening with just some files and not others?
Here is the media info. I’d appreciate any insight:
