No chapter list in podcast / Fast Forward issues

No chapter list in podcast.
When I listen to music and press fast forward it would go the next chapter of the podcast but now it seems it goes to the next podcast.
Is there a setting or something I am missing or not aware of?
Very annoying when I download music podcast and cannot move to the next chapter!
ARGHHHHH

i feel your pain.
after some messing around with siri, the music app and the podcast app. here's a solution that works (kind-of). i hate it, but i'm a subscriber of the economist too and this is the only way i know to play individual chapters.
basically if you can get music app -- note NOT the iTunes app and NOT the podcast app, but specifically your music app --, to start playing your podcast then you can see the chapter list inside that podcast.
the problem is that there is no easy way to launch your music app and point it at your podcast (how dumb is that ?). the work around i've found is to use siri. if you say 'play the economist podcast', siri uses the music app to start playing the podcast. and lo-and-behold, you can see the chapters !
hope this helps. apple really need to fix this.

What happened to the Podcast fast forward 15 sec function in the lock screen? It went away when I upgraded to iOS 7.1.

I thought the same thing, until I saw there is a podcast update as well in the app store, that fixes this.

Podcasts Fast Forward Stuck

When I play podcasts on my iPhone they sound as if they are stuck on the fast forward. All the voices are sped up too fast. This does not happen on songs, just podcasts. Any idea what the cause could be?

"The speed options appear along with the "scrubber bar" and "Email" and "30-second repeat" options when you tap the cover image in the "Now Playing" screen."

WWE Network Fast Forward Issue

I notice when using the fast forward function while viewing WWE Network, the screen goes black. This appears to happen on other streaming services as well on Apple TV. Is there a reason screen goes black instead of showing the footage going in fast forward so you can actually see what's going on?

do you know if it is legally possible for you to attach the mp3 file here ? for testing purposes. If there is a copyright or royalties, forget it.

Rewind & Fast Forward Issue

I recently moved from DirecTV to Verizon FIOS TV.
I am having difficulty adapting to the rewind and fast forward functions with Verizon. I find that when I press the <PLAY> button during rewind or fast forward, the system actually is ahead or behind about 30 - 45 seconds. I am used to DirecTV where once I pressed the <PLAY> button, I landed exactly at the spot I saw at the time I stopped the rewind or fast forward.
Am I doing something wrong or does anyone have any suggestions. It is really getting to be a PITA.
Thanks!

You are doing it correct. When people are fast forwarding, most are not quick reflexed enough to hit play directly on the image they need, So we figure that by the time the play button is hit then , more time has passed so it automatically backs it up.

Audiobook wont fast-forward.

Hi, I recentely accquired Harry Potter and the half-blood prince Audiobook and my trouble is when I fast forward it to where I left off the night before it doesn't do it. It plays the first chapter even if I fast forward it to right at the end it will play the first chapter over and over till the audiobook ends but its ok if I leave it but I dont feel like playing my Ipod for 10 hours just to listen to the bit I want plus the battery probably wouldn't last anyway. This doesn't happen with my Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix audiobook so what can be the problem?

Yep, I have the exact same thing happening with my podcasts encoded with Lame 3.97. It occurs on both of my 8GB Nano's, so I assume it would happen with all. It is quite annoying.

Why can't I fast forward my podcasts?

I've just installed the new (disastrous) version of iTunes and I can't fast forward my episodes! This means that if I don't listen/watch an episode until the end and just click on something else on iTunes (for example, another episode of another podcast) I'll have to watch the whole thing again! This is most annoying, as my episodes are typically one-hour long. What is going on?
I also noticed my old episodes (the ones I intended to keep so I could watch again) are mostly gone, and I didn't have any backups because, until now, if I wanted to keep my epidodes, all I had to do was not delete them.
Seriously, I do love Mac but iTunes is really not the best thing they've ever come up with.

No, not all ... just some of the purchased music tracks, and most of those concentrated in recent releases.
Your options are to either work with ITMS Support to get your d/l tracks replaced (frequently they'll be okay on the second try, but not always), or can go through a complicated sequence of burning off to CD and then reimporting the track (which seems to almost always work).
There are multiple threads about this very issue in this and other forums; a quick use of the Search window would have given you your answer before ever having to post.

Subtitle buttons - fast-forward and rewinding issue

I am new to DVD Studio Pro 4 and I have project that uses a subtitle button over a video track to provide users with the ability to go "back" to the previous menu - the menu in which they selected the track.
There is a problem using this method however, when fast-forward or rewind is pressed, then the track starts to play again, the back button is now hosed. My thought is that this is because of the chapter markers not being refreshed in the middle of a subtitle, only at the begining and end like bookends.
Is there a way around this? If not, are there any buggy issues with locking down the user controls for fast-forward and rewind? Any help would be much appreciated...

You can lock out the User Ops for Fast Forward Rewind or whatever you want. Probably a good idea if you are using the track as a menu effectively.
If however the track is amovie and you want them to go back to the menu where they selected it you can target the menu for any track to go back to a specific menu. Click on the track and check out the Inspector near the bottom where it syas Remote Control. Target the menu you want people to go to back to when they press Menu on their Remote

Unable to fast forward through podcasts

I've recently noticed that I can't fast forward through podcasts on my iPod touch, specifically with NPR All Songs Considered ones (I don't listen to any other ones, so it may not be specific to these ones). Its annoying because I can't pick up from where I left off listening. Every time I try using the bar to move through the podcast, it starts over from the beginning. Is this intentional? Is it specific to the podcast?

This is a long standing problem with iPods and appears to be specific to podcasts that get encoded using LAME, arguably the best available encoder anywhere.
From what I can tell from searching over the years, this is due to the iPod looking at a very old style header (XING) instead of the proper field in the LAME set header. This is as near as I can figure out from the posts.
This causes problems like the iPod thinks the track is shorter than it really is (a good example of this is a long MP3 like one disc of an audiobook) and stops prematurely. Very annoying.
In the case of the NPR podcasts, the bug in the iPod causes crashes when you try to fast forward or seek.
Neither of these problems appear to be related in any way to "remember playback position", so don't necessarily go down that route.
An easy way to check for this issue on a podcast is to highlight it, and then right click, select Get Info. If you see LAME as the encoding, look out, your iPod will possibly not play it correctly.
These same podcasts play back absolutely fine on any other player, and over the years it has been consistently narrowed down to a bug in the iPod.
I sure wish Apple would fix this. I just had the same problem with a recent podcast on my 2nd gen Nano, so we loaded it onto my son's brand new iPod. I thought surely Apple would have fixed this by now, but sure enough, still broke on the latest Nano version!

How can I fast forward in Podcast?

I want to know how to fast forward in a podcast? I can hold down the fast forward button and it goes a few seconds and I can rewind for a few seconds. However I want to fast forward minutes.
Any suggestions? I see in the manual on page 62 about podcast and audiobook controlls but I don't have playback speed or a skip to any point in the timeline.

To skip to any point on the timeline, drag the playhead along the scrubber bar. While dragging, slide your finger down to slowdown the scrub rate.

Fast forward goes past chapter points

Hi, I am also experiencing the same problem. After burning the project into a disc we tested it on a DVD player. In normal play, the videos would stop at the end of a chapter however when we press fast forward it would bypass chapters. Instead of stopping at the end of a chapter it will keep forwarding to the other videos. Is there a way for the fast forward control to stop exactly at the end of a chapter point? Any kind of help and advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Make each chapter a separate video in its own timeline.

MSI-256 - Fast Forward/Rewind Issue...

Folks, I'm using the MSI Mega Stick 256 with the latest firmware.
All is cool, except for the fast forward/rewind function. I'm listening to the .Net Rocks radio show. The show is long - up to two hours. So I need to fast forward to get to where I was last at. But when I do it moves slowly forward or backward for a minute before hitting turbo mode jumping 2 minutes for each tick. The problem is it is too slow for the first minute and way too fast fast after that. I often am jumping forward and backwards several times to get to where I want to be.
It really need to use a logarithmic speed increase so that I can judge better when to stop fast forwarding.
That's my #1 issue.
Also it would be nice to have it resume playing from the point in the last file it was playing. And it would be nice to see on screen the current time display.
Cheers!

Here's a thing:
unfortunately, it's not the iPod touch/iPhone 2.0 software that is causing this... It's actually the video encoding
iPod touch/iPhone 2.0 has new playback system that is causing a video encoded with 3rd party encoding software (not the one from Apple, but other software's iPod compatible h.264 encoding system such as iSquint) to go haywire when fastfowarding or rewinding a video....
I had issues with some of my home movies, encoded via iSquint, playing on my iPod after upgrading to 2.0, but after re-encoding it with Quicktime Pro, (yes, I converted the ORIGINAL file to h.264 via Quicktime Pro) all my video playback smoothley.
So, it's not a software issue, it's the video encoding issue....

No chapter fast forward for video playback in os7

Anyone else notice that you can't hit the fast forward button and jump to the next chapter in an iTunes video? I can go back to the menu and skip from there, but not while watching the video. Not a big glitch, but annoying. Why do the all the updates always have this bug? You'd think they would have tested them before hand.

It has always seemed that Bridge has been the stepchild of Adobe since its inception and that Adobe spends precious little effort and resources on it.
Remember that Bridge was born as nothing more than Photoshop's Browser. Nothing more.
Then, in a straight marketing stunt, Adobe decided artificially to lump together a number of totally unrelated applications into artificial "suites." These are in fact totally non-related applications that were artificially bundled by fiat of bean counters and marketers. The engineering teams for the individual point applications are totally independent from each other and are not only not in in the same building but in different cities, different states and, some, in different countries. They have pathetically little communication among themselves.
The humble Photoshop Browser was renamed Bridge and jerry-rigged to serve as some sort of go-between vehicle among the applications also jerry-ringed into artificial suites. (Definition of JERRY-RIGGED: organized or constructed in a crude or improvised manner <a jerry–rigged plan>.
Don't expect too much from Bridge, and don't complain about it too loudly, or you might find yourself among others who have been told, in effect, that "Adobe doesn't charge you for Bridge." As a "free" byproduct, you get what you paid for.
In this context, just look at what has happened to the value of Adobe stock in the last five years: –28.20% (minus).
Compare that to Apple during the exact same period: +358.43%.

Can not fast forward though podcasts on iPhone 4.

When I first got the phone I was able to fast forward though them. Then something happened three days ago and now I can't fast forward though them at all. When I'm looking at the podcast selection screen it shows '--:--' as the time for all the podcasts. When the podcast is playing it shows '-00:00' as the play time and the scrubber never moves. If I try to fast forward at all it just jumps back to the beginning of the podcast.
Anyone find a fix for this?

I have the same problem. But it happens in mp3 music as well as podcasts. The only solution I've found is to reboot my iPhone. It's kind of a hassle, so I'd like to see a fix from Apple.

Podcast Chapter list on Iphone

Hi everybody,
I produced a Podcast. Everything Works fine. I'd created a chapter List and when i download the Podcast on iTunes
The chapter List Works on iTunes.
If i Download it with my iPhone (over ITunes on Iphone) i cant See the chapter List
Why Not ???
Thx for your help
O

The feed seems to be fine, and as you say the episodes download OK from iTunes on a Mac. I can't see any reason why the media files themselves should be incompatible with an iPhone but I don't have one, or an iPad, to check on so I can't really help. The best place to ask would be in their forums, where someone may be able to try downloading and report.
