    so for me it works.
    you need to cycle through it and 16 or 32 speed is looking ok.
    i would go for skip steps anyhow. don't like that type of scrolling at all.

    Maybe it has to do something with your buffer settings?
    Try to lower it a bit. i have e.g. 0,5 seconds buffer.

    I have set buffer to 0.5, i FF x8 or something and it seems FF but not like wasapi lol :)
    So buffer with 0.5 works with 2 not really :p

    sorry I'm late

    I have completely reinstalled MediaPortal and fast forward that does not work correctly

    I did this test on another HTPC 4 of my friends done same problem

    please check the BASS PLAYER ENGINE! :)

    ps. All testing was performed on AMD graphics cards via HDMI Amplifier

    edit:

    Visualization "Milkdrop" stops sporadically
    with bass player

    with version 1.3 this worked 100% correct

    I had some time to run some tests.
    It is all related to the buffer.

    if i have 0.5 i get the same problem as descibed above..
    i played a bit on how low i can go with the buffer without having stutters and ended up at around 0.2 seconds.
    this gives me good results.

    So some things to consider:
    1. lower the buffer as much as possible
    2. OR use WASAPI
    3. OR use Skip steps

    i would go for option 3, because if you configure the skip steps e.g. from +1sec, +3 secs, + 10 secs, this will give you much better results than using the Mickey Mouse approach

    No possible to change buffer when doing fff /rw ? :)

    how did you use skip steps (normally i use arrow left / right) but that doesn't work for me.
    Thanks :)

    btw. Is it possible that the "Skip Step" option in the BASS configuration dialog has also effect if I select WASAPI as the player? It seems so because if this BASS option is enabled also WASAPI jumps.

    You are also experience this? Not really a huge bug but confusing as the option is only availabe in the dedicated BASS Player Options

    AIUI rockstar actually uses its own inbuilt player (still BASS but using their own code). Please only check with local playback.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    I have wanted to create a skin for MePo for years, but lack of free time due to other time demanding creative output (i.e. hobbies) I have not gotten past creating mockups of my skin ideas for when I could have time in the future.
