Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does one go about fastforwarding/rewinding while watching a Netflix movie through Boxee? The <<, <<<, >> and >>> buttons don't do anything. Once I got it to work, but I'm not sure how exactly. I tried w/ the Apple remote too. I can only play and pause.

Any ideas?

There are many streaming sources that Boxee links to but the controls are not standardized yet. Some programs have no volume control or advancing.

Netflix uses Microsoft's Silverlight to stream movies, many others use modified versions of the Flash player. I think with time everyone will come to some standard of code that controls volume and forward/rewind so people like Boxee developers can code for it.
