Before I describe the issue I should mention that this concerns the Windows version 17.0 Krypton rc4 (latest version as of this post) running on Windows 8.1. When I use the << (rewind) and >> (fast forward) buttons, not to be confused with previous |< and next >|, on a remote that uses the standard multimedia keys (the ones that pretty much all media players use) when playing a movie in Kodi they are handled incorrectly. It responds with 2 different simultaneous actions. when hitting the << (rewind) button, it seeks about -2 minutes (the exact number of seconds depends on the length of the movie because it appears to be a percentage of the full movie length, so about 2 minutes if it's a 2 hour movie) and also rewinds 2x until you hit play or another multimedia key. When hitting the >> (fast forward) button, it seeks about 2 minutes forward and also begins fast forwarding 2x. When you hit either key again it rewinds or fast forwards at 4x speed. The rewinding and fast forwarding are the expected and desired actions for it to take, but the seeking 2 minutes backward and forward are not. If I just want to go back a few seconds I should be able to which the rewind and fast forward function is able to do for me, but instead it is going back 3 minutes which is way too far back or forward without any option to go back any less. So, in short, the player should not be seeking 2 minutes forward or backward when pressing the << (rewind) and >> (fast forward) buttons. It should just rewind and fast forward like you would expect it to do. Please fix this issue because I can't really use this player if I don't have proper rewind and fast forward functionality. This is defeinitely a pretty major issue because it is a basic player function that is not properly working, making the player pretty much useless until it gets fixed, which I hope happens soon.
