[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1171168, member: 141969"] This is a characteristic of the Ortek VRC-1100 (which is the remote control that you have). Weirdly, the PLAY button transmits precisely the same signal as the PAUSE button, so the receiving software cannot distinguish one from the other. The same is also true for other buttons: ENTER transmits the same signal as OK, and RIGHT_MOUSE transmits the same signal as INFO (the "I" button). For the situation you describe, you can stop fast forward or fast rewind by pressing the PLAY button or the PAUSE button. That pauses the video, and then you can press PLAY or PAUSE a second time in order to start playback at normal speed. A WMC-compatible remote control [b]that uses the RC6 signalling protocol[/b] will behave in the way that you were expecting: pressing PLAY whilst fast-forwarding/rewinding will start playback immediately. So look for a remote that claims "WMC-compatibility" and which has "RC6" on the remote or on the packaging. Note: you need to buy one that is sold with its own IR receiver, as the Ortek IR receiver will not work with an RC6 remote. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
