Stream Skipping

[JonnyCam]

Hey,
Not sure if this has been asked before, but on the "now streaming" screen I can skip the stream forward 10 secs when viewing with VLC (but have never been able to do this with WMP)

Is there some way of changing the skip time, or a freeform box to enter a skip to time command?
Sometimes when recording the football, I will see the first half at home, and want to watch the second when I get to work - meaning I have to either let the first half run all the way through, or stop the recording when I leave home, and then start it again.

Thanks

I just wanted to bump up this question. I just 10 second skipped to the end of the 2 hour American Idol Finale and would love a way to change the option to 30 or 60 seconds.

Added this to the wishlist on the wiki so I don't loose track of it.

Where can I edit this value on the backend in the meantime? I don't care too much about a UI to change it around but I've searched a little and do not see it set.

Thank you-

These two methods in Player.aspx.cs or Player2.aspx.cs for the CSS based screens are listed below:

Code:

//Method that makes VLC on the server skip forward 10 seconds on the currently playing item
        protected static void skipForwardStream(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            StreamerPost strmPost = new StreamerPost();
            strmPost.Url = "http://localhost:8080/";
            strmPost.PostItems.Add("seek_value", "+10sec");
            strmPost.PostItems.Add("control", "seek");
            strmPost.Type = StreamerPost.PostTypeEnum.Get;
            string result = strmPost.Post();
            result = String.Empty;
        }

        //Method that makes VLC on the server skip backward 10 seconds on the currently playing item
        protected static void skipBackwardStream(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            StreamerPost strmPost = new StreamerPost();
            strmPost.Url = "http://localhost:8080/";
            strmPost.PostItems.Add("seek_value", "-10sec");
            strmPost.PostItems.Add("control", "seek");
            strmPost.Type = StreamerPost.PostTypeEnum.Get;
            string result = strmPost.Post();
            result = String.Empty;
        }

This is awesome, just tried switching "+10sec" to "+60sec" and it works like a charm!

Thanks,
