I'm having the same problem with trick play. And it does not work with
VLC as the client either.

I'm using ffmpeg to create the ts-files and
testProgs/MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer to create the tsx-files. Are there
any other ways that is recommended? Does anyone have some information of
what flags I should give to ffmpeg to make this work better?

This is an example of how I create the ts-file:
ffmpeg  -i DVD-image.vob  -y -t 00:02:00  -f mpegts -b 2000k -mbd 1 -an
test.ts

the inputfile (DVD-image.vob) comes from a PAL-dvd using vobcopy.

Thanks
