I'm using the latest Openelec, but I've observed this on Xbian as well. I'm controlling XBMC by the TV Remote. Most everything works fine, but I can't fast forward. When I push FF, I see the display in the upper right hand that looks like it's trying to FF, but the movie plays at the same speed. I have the same problem using the web interface. I do think I managed to FF once, using Xbian, but not since. I'm guessing maybe certain filetypes won't FF? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

FF and REW is not currently supported by OMXPlayer on the Pi, irrespective of file type.
Use the jump forward/back controls (left/right -/+ 30 seconds, down/up -/+ 10 mins), also entering the timecode directly from the keypad (eg: 11000[OK] to jump to 1h 10m into the movie).

Thanks for the response. I don't have a keyboard plugged into my Pi. Is there some other way to FF, using a remote, or by the web interface?

The lack of fast forward/rewind is the biggest usability nuisance for me currently in XBMC (basically, the only major usability problem). Is there anything that could be done to fix this? Is there any help needed? I am a software guy, so I may be able to help when I have free time. A few weeks ago I had a brief look at OMXPlayer and it seemed to have some kind of fast forward/rewind support.

I can confirm this wotks fine using the arrows descibed above and also the numeric keypad. I am using a USB IR remote straight out of the box. I would suggest looking through the lirc threads if your remote isn't doing this.
