Hi,
can someone help me to understand if this is a bug?
I expect a reverse play not a rewind.

Your patch works fine for me in Mac OS 10.8.5 with Max 7.2.3. Reverses but does not rewind; plays from wherever it left off. Works fine in this example, too.

Hi Rob, here is a new patch that demonstrate how sometimes "rate 1" message start the video and sometimes no.
When you change direction it happens.
Thanks

sigh, thanks will investigate.

in case it isn't obvious, the work around is to simply use the rate attribute to control playback, or append start in stop messages where appropriate.
