Hi
I have recently bought a Sony BDP-S3100 smart blu-ray player and am really happy with it apart from one niggling problem. I subscribe to Lovefilm and have set up the player to access my account for streaming. Playback works fine, but for some reason I am unable to either fast forward or rewind any movies / tv shows that I am streaming.
Whilst the title is buffering at the beginning there's a small circular 'control pad' at the bottom of the screen which shows pause, zoom in/out and fast forward or rewind. However, as soon as playback actually starts the ff and rew icons just disappear. Pressing either the direction keys or the ff/rew keys on the remote results in an 'Option not available' or similar message.
What's even more frustrating is that the functionality works fine when viewing trailers from within the Lovefilm app, so it's just movies and tv shows that are affected. Also, just to confirm that ff/rew work fine via both my 360 and ipad, so it doesn't appear to be a connection issue.
I have e-mailed Lovefilm support, but they seem to be stumped by the problem and have so far been unable to suggest a resolution.
Has anyone else come across this either with a 3100 or one of the previous Sony models (390,380 etc.)?
Mods please feel free to move this to the streaming forum if you think it's more appropriate there.
