Why are some of the remote control buttons disabled?
Individual remote control buttons will enable or disable themselves based on the underlying capabilities of the media player and attributes of the media source. For example, if you connect to a real-time network stream, the rewind button will be disabled because you can’t rewind a real-time stream. A common situation in which disabled remote control buttons appear occurs on Windows computers. If you set Windows Media Player to be your preferred media player, you may find that when WMP opens non-Windows Media content (such as .mp3 or .avi files), some buttons are disabled. This reflects the fact that WMP provided limited support for non-Windows Media formats. This is one reason we recommend using QuickTime as your preferred media player.
