Can I use the player controls (skip, replay, back, next) when watching media from

PlayOn*?

Media from PlayOn is transcoded. Because PlayOn does not support player controls during

transcoding, you will have to wait for transcoding to finish in order for player controls to work as

expected. Player controls work as expected within a buffer that is created by rewinding back

through the portion of the program that is already transcoded.

*PlayOn is a MediaMall Technologies product which must be purchased separately. You can

download a 14 day trial license of PlayOn from www.moxi.com
