fforward .vs skip forward

jeffp · 2005-11-04, 16:01

Is there a way in MP to set the fforward function to skip forward say 30 seconds instead of just forwarding? This way when watching a recorded show or if you have paused live TV you can skip forward past commercials .vs just fforwarding over them.

Try the "up" key on your keyboard. This one steps forward.

I'll give that a try. Is there someplace to adj the amount of time it jumps forward? What is the default?

Hmm, don't think this can be customized (yet). I also don't know what's the default value, go and check it yourself ;-)

Worked great thanks! Seems to be at about 20-30 seconds.

Now if it would just work with the skip forward and backwards buttons on the MCE remote.

Figured it out. With the left and right directional buttons on the remote you can either jump forward or back in 15second increaments. Hit it once you get 15, twice 30, etc.
