Hello, I've checked the wiki and done a few forum searches with no luck, so hopefully I haven't missed something obvious. Is there a way to configure 2 separate FFWD and RWD skips times, similar to SageTV?

In SageTV I am able to define 2 separate skip times for each direction. This is how I have it configured:

FFWD#1 = 10s  and  FFWD#2 = 3 min

RWD#1 = 10s and RWD#2 = 3 min

I have these mapped to separate remote buttons, and this give me the ability to skip forward/back either 10 seconds or 3 minutes, depending on the granularity I need.

Is this possible in MC 21?

Edit: I'm referring to video navigation here, not music

Anyone?

I just checked the 21 video options and it looks like there is only one setting each for skipping forward and backward. (ranging from 5 secs to 3 minutes -- its called jump behavior btw).

If you have a remote that you can program custom buttons with, you could use a MCC command...or at least it looks like you can.  Based on the wiki:

10034   MCC_SEEK_FORWARD   int nMilliseconds (0 means default -- varies depending on playback type)
10035   MCC_SEEK_BACK   int nMilliseconds (0 means default -- varies depending on playback type)

Here is the wiki page:

I use EventGhost on my HTPC, which allows my remote commands to be translated to almost anything, so I use MCC commands for a lot of things.

Ah yes makes makes perfect sense. I use Girder with a customizable remote so I can definitely do what you are suggesting. Thank you!

Hope it works!  I haven't done this, but based on what I see, it should work fine.  I assume you know, but 3 minutes would be 180000 milliseconds.

I won't have a chance to test it until the weekend but I'm confident that it will work. Understand about the millisecond units, but thanks for the reminder

I finally got around to testing this last night and it works like a charm, exactly as expected. I now have the ability to FFW and RWD in both 10 second and 3 minute increments. Thanks again for the help.
Cheers...

Excellent!
