[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 67185, member: 22671"] Yer I also found the MediaPortal method of skipping initally looks nice but in practice is not very useable and is slow and awkward. I see there is also a big jump (up key) that seems to jump 10 minutes. My solution which would leave things as intact as they are:- 1) In MediaPortal Setup add a second tab to General | Skip Steps The first one being as it is for small steps (L/R keys) and the second one being for that big jump (U/D) keys. 2) I would change the fixed value radio button boxes to allow the values to be changed (I use 4 minutes for adverts as in UK). They dont have to be numerically ascending either, so I could set the first one as 4 minutes then the second one as 20 seconds if I wished. Values would need to be entered in EITHER seconds OR minutes from 1 - 999 or 0 to turn that step off (or continue to use radio buttons to turn on/off) 3) Lastly I would set it that if only a single value is turned on then it jumps immediately, allowing fast multiple presses. If 2 or more are on then leave the behaviour exactly as it currently is. In My case I would set small to 10 seconds and large to 4 minutes. The current implementation makes it very awkward to skip ads, I currently have to do a 3 minute one, then a 1 minute one then maybe a 15 second one = a lot of key pressing. The above method would allow me to jog shuttle around a lot more easily but would leave users who like the current method unaffected. In the short term is there a way to change the big jump value to 4 minutes in some config file? [/QUOTE]
