Controls.fastReverse

The fastReverse method starts fast play of the media item in the reverse direction.

Syntax

player.controls.fastReverse()

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

The fastReverse method plays the clip in reverse at five times the normal speed. Invoking fastReverse changes the Settings.rate property to –5.0. If rate is subsequently changed, or if play or stop is called, Windows Media Player will cease fast reverse.

If the item is part of a playlist, fastReverse stops at the beginning of the current track. For instance, if track 3 is in fastReverse, when the beginning of track 3 is reached, Windows Media Player will not go to track 2. The Settings.playCount property is ignored for fastReverse.

If you call fastForward while fastReverse is in effect, fastReverse will be stopped and fastForward will begin.

This method does not work for live broadcasts and certain media types. To determine whether you can use fast reverse in a clip, call isAvailable(“FastReverse”).
