Hi I have comskip generated files on TV Server and using up/down button on my remote control does not use comskip generated files, anybody knows which buttons will allow me to do that?

Not in front of my HTPC now, but is it not the skip button?

I am not really using it, since I have activated the General Setting in MPConfiguration to automatically skip commercials.

None of buttons working. My TV server is on different computer then MP itself, not sure if it matters.

It should not matter.
The TVServer Comskip plugin is just used to generate the comskip files.

Playback is handled by the client and not by the server. The client just need the comskip files. I will try and test my remote buttons for you in about 6-8 hours. That is if no-one else answered by then.

Yep, the skip button on my MCE remote does the trick.
Using IR Server Suite.

Never mind I found couple of threads which basically tells that it's impossible to use comskip generated files if your TV Server and MP clients are on separate machines.
The only way to make it work is to share recorded folder and add it as a "Video" folder and launch recorded TV programs from there instead. This works.

Thanks
