Thanks for that.
On further investigations there are actually 2 skip behaviors on
SlimServer(6.5.0 - 9916 - Linux - EN - utf8)/SoftSqueeze(3.3, Java 1.5.0_02)
Firstly when listening to mp3 music files, etc as in my last post,
HOLD the fwd button and the display shows "Now Scanning", 2x, 3x, 4x,
etc.
RELEASE the button and the song skips through at whatever pace was
selected
PRESS play when you want to continue normally
Secondly when listening to "Listen Again" radio streams
HOLD the fwd button and the display shows "Skip", 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m,
10m, 15m etc.
RELEASE the button and the stream moves that far forward.
Both do the same in reverse (Rew).
Telnet ouputs are listed below.
Output 1 is moving to 4x scan in an mp3 then pressing play to revert to
normal.
Output 2 is skiping forward 5 mins in a listen again stream.
Not sure what I am looking at but presumably the "rate 2" "rate 4" and "rate
1" commands are important.
Interesting in output 2 it never goes beyond "rate 2" although I did skip
more than 2 mins.
I will leave you to draw your own conclusions as I am really not familiar
with the workings.
Let me know if you want any more experimentation.
cheers,
Dave
