Hello,
since the new OS version the track forward and reverse button doesn't work anymore, but the play and pause button still works. No matter if I use Spotify or directly music from the data carrier.

  What do you mean by "music from the data carrier"?

  Where the music comes from doesn't matter. But I meant a local hard drive with FLACs.

  I can't see this here. Play/Pause works?

  I can confirm this behavior. I'll have to do some debugging in the browser to see what's going on.

  Pause/Play seem to work well, but Forward/Back do not.

  Hi,

  Play/Pause is perfect working. Back/Forward is not working.

  Browser is Safari.

  Chrome has the same Problem.

  I have the same issue with the back/forward functions.  Tried with Safari, Chrome and Edge.  Also noticed that this functionality no longer works via interactions either.  I used to be able to send messages from my Arduino to the Pi via USB to execute Play/Pause/Forward/Back commands.  But with the latest release only the Play/Pause functionality works.

  I'm having the same problem, in Chrome 105 and Edge under Windows 11. Playing music from a library on a USB thumb drive.

  Also the search button (magnifying glass) doesn't respond.

  I really wanted to like the Hifiberry DAC2 HD I just got, but I may have to return it. Lack of this functionality makes it really hard to use. The only way I can get back to the main music library page is by hitting back on my browser, which brings me to a blank tab, then hitting forward again.

  Is it possible my Pi 3B is not up to indexing the 8000 tracks on my USB drive, or I need a bigger SD card to store the index? On the main page for my USB library it says "Updating library..."...and has been for more than a day, so I'm dubious it's doing anything. It may have indexed all the songs, and maybe is getting stuck on downloading album covers?

  I tried Volumio, Rune, and rAudio distributions, and all have problems. I got Volumio to run and send output to the RCA outputs, but it only manages to index a few tracks. I haven't gotten the others to recognize the Hifiberry card, despite editing boot/config.txt as instructed.

  If indexing doesn't stop, you might have ".cue" files in your library. Check for these and remove them.

  Thanks. Doing "cd /mnt" and then "find . -name '*.cue' returned nothing...

  Hmm, unfortunately I can't say what else might be causing this. As you seem to have a similar issue with Volumio, it might be some file that causes this. However, it's not possible to say what exactly might be the cause.
