If i click the forward edge of the remote like in netflix/amazon/apple/EVERYOTHERAPP in MrMC it just pauses. Why would it do that? How the hell do you fast forward, like literally i have a giant pause button.

Thing is useless. Now i have to monitor another forum just to try to get the remote commands?? UGh

1) It does depend on the content you're watching but most content is like you expect.

2) However, did you enable "siri expert mode"? settings>system>input devices If that is enabled then it will NOT work how you're expecting.

The default remote input should be that you click the edges to skip, hold down the edges to ff or rw, click the center to pause/play, and of course the pause play button does that too. If you do pause it, then you get a scrubbing thumbnail and can use the touchpad to scrub quickly. You must click the center of the touchpad to confirm the new time location.
