 From what I can tell you are doing fast farware and rewind by simply
seeking from one point to another. This is not very optimal at all.
Helix already has an interface that lets you control the velocity of
the playback, both forward and backwards. It is called trick play and
it is what the Window's Realplayer uses to do slow motion, fast
fowards, etc. This may be a bit out of date but it will show you what
interfaces to look for:

https://helix-client.helixcommunity.org/nonav/2005/devdocs/TKP-SOD-001-TrickPlay.html

Also, splay has code in it to do velocity, so that would be a great
place to look for how to use it. I am not sure what support, if any,
hxclientkit has for it.

Be very careful with threads and the Helix platform. From a top level
clients point of view (hxclientkit) it must never call into the engine
on any thread except the one that created it. The engine will also always
call back into hxclientkit on that same thread. The interface between the
two is not thread safe.
