can't ff/skip with dvd 1.3.11

[garymeds]

i don't think i've ever played a dvd before in gbpvr and did today but was unable to skip or ff (parts which are allowed to be skipped)..

wouldn't work with remote or mouse on OSD...

this normal?

cheers

Does it work with the keyboard (Ctrl-RightArrow)?

[garymeds]

just got around to trying this - ctrl-right arrow doesnt work...

attached logs - i tried all 3 methods (remote skip/ff, keyboard via osd and ctrl-right arrow)

chhers

[garymeds]

will try changing '/settings/DirectlyHandleMCESkip : true' to false, but if it doesn't work with the keyboard, then this won't make a difference?

[stustunz]

have you tried setting the dvd video decoder to something other than system default

[garymeds]

no, i can try though (wouldn't have thought the decoding would have a bearing, but i know nothing..)

[garymeds]

tried changing the dvd navigator, enabling use DVD chapter skipping and set the video decoder - still no skipping. was hoping to retire my dvd player aswell....

anyone any ideas?

I dont really have any ideas. I have double checked here to make sure skipping is working during DVD playback. Seem to work for me.

In your logs, it definitely looks like its trying to skip:

Ignore the "Skipping forward: 0". "0" is a special case value that means "skip the default seconds" aka "60". I do notice thats a particularly short title, 203 seconds, which makes me think it was in one of the intro sections that disallows skipping?

[garymeds]

it is a short section which can be skipped on my dvd player (kids film with loads of annoying ads before it starts). in the movie itself, there's no skipping either.

i'll try another dvd and see if it's that - also if it works with powerdvd or something.

thanks for time and efforts, as always..

In this case GB-PVR is asking it to skip, but the DVD Navigator is ignoring the request. You could try another DVD Navigator.
