Manual timeskip on MVP doesn't work?

[sabrewulf165]

I've read that manual timeskip (enter the amount of minutes/seconds you want to advance, then hit skip) is supposed to work on the MVP, but it never has for me, not in 95.x, and still not in 96.8.

I know Sub thinks the 1=10%, 2=20% etc. feature of the Hauppauge software is weird, but for me it's very useful as sometimes a video will glitch or hang, and it's a complete pain in the ass to get back to the point in the video where you were before. Fast forwarding takes forever, and I have never been able to make manual timeskip work, so.... any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? :confused:

And just to be clear, I've tried pressing both "1, 0, >>" and "1, 0, |>" on the MVP remote, and neither ever does manual timeskip, it'll just do nothing, or do the regular function of the >> and |> buttons.

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the log and I'll take a look. It should be "1, 0, >|"

Yes,
Thank you for bringing this up sabrewulf165. I had this problem too. I am using the last version of GB. It used to work but then it stopped for some reason.

unfortunately, I can't submit any log right now. My computer is visiting the hospice (Nursing Home for ill computers).

Sub, which log ti should be in?

Thanks

Mine does the same thing, or maybe I should say doesn't hehe Anyway the manual skip doesn't work, here is the log...

I use this function regularly. It works fine for me in the most recent release. I have applied the gbpvr.exe update that fixed the MVP crashing.
I do notice that if I don't wait for a comskip shuffle to complete, it gets confused. Also if I press the skip too many times, too quickly, it gets confused. Once it is confused, it will ignore all skip commands until I stop playback. Once I play the stream again, it will work properly.
I have to wait approximately 2 seconds between remote key presses to prevent this.

Works fine here also, with the update.

MVPMC is the same way. I agree that the skip minutes is far superior to % - more accurate and easier to do without mental division. To be on topic, I've had experiences similar to ddrawley. I've started shows and the skip didn't really want to work, though ff and rewind did. Restarting the show usually cleared it up. I don't know which update everyone is talking about, so I don't know if it matters. Perhaps it depends on the dongle.bin version and/or MVP revision?
