This code was written specifically for the Amino STB (which was the first client we used that did 'trick play' operations).</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>we're willing to help you look into this, Ross.

If your STB is relying on this, then it's broken.</div><br><br><div>
