I really think one or the other is needed though - it's really tedious having to click back multiple times to do simple things because I want a short step in there....grrrr

Some have the up down left right as well as >> and << and >| and |< - that's eight buttons or four different steps in each direction.

From what I can see the actions "IncreaseRating" and "DecreaseRating" have been left unmapped, so to return to previous behaviour you need to create a remote.xml (if you don't already have your own user one) and add:

Code:

<Visualisation>
<remote>
<up>IncreaseRating</up>    
<down>DecreaseRating</down>
</remote>
</Visualisation>

or map to different buttons if you want to keep the skip behaviour on Up & Down.

Cause tbh makes no sense to stop all users in general from being able to do a very unique and Music only orientated function and require more hidden knobs/controls. Sorry makes very little sense to me to remove this at all in guise of aligning video/music controls, since music has unique functionality like rating a track and you cant really rate your videos and never could.

Thx for the tip though will definetly have to add it but I prefer it works OTTB for users who been doing this since stone age, like my wife, who is the reason I said something cause shes crying in my ear going, why is this skipping now... lol

I hear what you're saying but one reason for the smart seeking was to provide some code clean up, what you suggest may introduce some complexity again, however that's a question maybe for @xhaggi

This works if you guys are ok with this https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6744

Thx for suggestions.
