I am reasonably sure that the reason that the skip buttons don't seem to do anything is because in the default configuration they are not defined to do anything. In MP, the default configuration uses the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT buttons to perform skips:

UP and DOWN perform an immediate skip for a time interval that you can specify in "MP Config". I have mine set to one minute.

LEFT and RIGHT perform a variable skip that depends on how many times you press the button (e.g. press the button three times and then wait for the skip to occur). The sizes of the skip are configurable in "MP Config". I have mine set to: 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins.

It is possible to modify the functions assigned to buttons on the remote, so you could change the default config to enable the skip buttons to perform skips. Start here to see how to do it:
