When the default configuration is the same as it has been then it won't confuse any user. This configuration can be put to the last configuration so that it is basically "hidden". And then there are Man-pages so no, I don't agree that this would confuse users one bit. This is not something that needs to be changes constantly.. If this is done via remote control commands then it is not even shown to the user. If user cannot configure remote control then (s)he most likely is not using VDR anyway. Accelarated repeating is very difficult for user to understand without time bar. Even with that it is very unconvenient because after a short while the step will be too long thus skips way too far. Rewinding takes longer because it begins with small steps. E.g. when I use jumping I usually press yellow several times fast and if necessary then go once or twice back and fast forward the rest. Acceleated jumping would cause the commercials to be skipped more slowly (in my case). Br, Pasi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Well, wouldn't the solution here be configurable jump length. Forward and backward jump separated so that 1min forward and 10s backward jumps are possible. This way most of the users would be happy. One possibility would be to provide a command for this that can be defined in remote control configuration e.g. commands: jump parameter: +/- num of seconds This way any number of keys can be used for this so everyone will be happy (?).

You could always google this patch: vdr-1.4.2-k1_k3_Jumps_20s.patch It has been included in my Liemikuutio and I've requested the similar feature to be integrated into vanilla VDR, but Klaus did disagree due to used key mapping.

The majority of advert breaks in the UK (on terrestrial channels) seem to be about 4 minutes (I've got another key set to skip 4 minutes forwards...) but some are +/- 10 or 20 s and being able to skip 10 s is very handy for me.

I've found the actual patch that is used in BigPatch in case you want just that.

I can't live without this feature, because jumping 1 Minute is nice, but most of the times way too long. So, actually, adding this 10 seconds jump to the main part, would also help me a lot! Maybe Klaus will let the skip-time be user-definable in a future version, or maybe someone has already made a patch for it but for now why not just make your own small patch for it rather than apply BigPatch? I believe these are the lines in menu.c to modify: case kGreen: SkipSeconds(-60); break; case kYellow: SkipSeconds( 60); break; ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
