Uninstalling is an absolute ball ache and I understand why you wouldn't want to do it as you have to reconfigure everything from scratch, plugins, views, watched shows etc.

Have you tried uninstalling the titan extended skin through the MPEI installer? Uninstall it, then go into the programdata folder and make sure there are no remnants left behind. Then reinstall titan.....

Failing this you could sequentially try the three levels of uninstall starting from the "lightest" which preserves your databases and so forth, then reinstall and check after each level. You may aswell try the backup settings plugin, moving pictures and mp tv series export plugins if youre gonna do this but from what I've found they can be hit and miss

I tried all the following to no avail:

1) Uninstall Titan Extended
2) Reinstall MediaPortal
3) Reinstall MediaPortal after removing MediaPortal directory from Application Data\Team MediaPortal
4) Reinstall MediaPortal after removing MediaPortal directory from Application Data\Team MediaPortal and MediaPortal directory from Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal
5) Reinstall TV Service

Skipping commercials remained functional all the time, but no markers anywhere to be seen.

What I didn't try yet is start from scratch with TV Service, since that's the part that takes forever to configure...

    If the markers are not visible, but you can skip commercials, then it means that there is a skin problem.

    If you can skip the chapters then at least the chapters are getting set. I do not know how to tell if the jump points are set or not.

    Right now it sounds like either the jump points are not getting read from the txt file, or that the bars are not rendering because they are not correctly defined in the skin.

    If you look in the TVOSD.xml file in the skin you are using, what do you see under the tvprogress control? Can you paste it here?

    Yes, I can skip and I can see chapters in the chapter menu.

    C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\TVOSD.xml (date 15th Dec 2013) contains the following about progress:

    Code:
        <control>
            <description>progressbar bg</description>

    It looks fine, so the only thing I can guess is that your txt file is not getting processed into jumppoints and chapters.

    Sounds like the chapters are working, but the question is are they getting sent to the gui as #chapters.

    Sounds like the chapters are working,
    Yeps, the chapters are working perfectly fine (and so are the markers for me):

    Rename the attached .txt to your recordings name and see if that shows chapters for you. If that works, then it's a matter of comparing the files for the diffs.

    HomeY, I tried with your attached .txt, and skipping worked but I still didn't see the markers.

    mattjcurry, a debug log is attached. Please note that I can see the markers if I use DefaultWide skin, but not if I use Default or Titan. To me this implies that MediaPortal is able to load the markers, but I have something that's breaking the skins.

    Please note that I can see the markers if I use DefaultWide skin, but not if I use Default or Titan.

    This is a key piece of information. This means that there is something different between the skins. I am wondering if the image for the comskip markers is missing or is for some reason incorrect.

    What happens if you change

    <filltexture3>osd_progress_mid_orange.png</filltexture3>
    <markertexture>osd_progress_comskip_marker.png</markertexture>

    to this:
    Code:
    <filltexture3>osd_progress_mid_orange.png</filltexture3>
            <markertexture>osd_progress_mid_orange.png</markertexture>[

    There are three files that would need to be edited:
    TVOSD.xml
    common.expanded.tv.osd.xml
    mytvFullScreen.xml

    They might be slightly different for titan, I do not remember.

    I tried to modify all the files where I found tvprogress element, but it seems that nothing I change has any effect apart from doing something drastic like deleting the C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan directory completely (MediaPortal failed to start) or deleting TVOSD.xml (couldn't display Recordings folder). Am I doing it right trying to change the files in the forementioned directory or is there some other location I'm missing? I suddenly noticed that c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal seems to be the same as c:\Users\All Users\Team Mediaportal. Windows (8.1) playing games with me?
