[QUOTE="sono, post: 1278250, member: 51364"] Hi there, again after a while, I am still looking forward to switch over to MediaPortal 2, but still hoping for the fixed time instant skip feature (Up/Down on remote = instant skip step 5s). Is there any chance to put that feature on the development list of any of the next releases? As you can see in the posts above I am not the only one using this for watching live/recorded TV to skip commercials quickly. Maybe I should explain my procedure (and I think melstig, like many other do it the same way) to skip commercials: [LIST=1] [*]Once a commercial starts use the remote's right button to skip 5 or 7 minutes depending on the length of the commercial. [*]After that big step it is either close to the end of the commercial or sometimes already back in the tv show. [*]Then to finetune use instant skip(s) (remote buttons up and down) set to 5sec to jump to exact point in time of the commercial's end. This works pretty well as i can as quickly jump as well 15 sec if I push the button 3 times in a row, or 10 sec if I push twice, etc.... All without any big delay. And this is the big advantage of instant skips with fixed times compared to the "normal" skip steps with the small delay that waits for any next input. [/LIST] I hope that made our plea visible and even more I hope that it is possible to add it to the feature implementation list. Many thanks in advance and best regards to the whole development team and all contributors. sono [/QUOTE]
