Right now they are set to +/- 30 second and 10 minutes.

Is there some place where you can change that to say -10 seconds, -30 seconds. +1 minutes +5 minutes?

[gabbott]

Yes, that can be adjusted using advancedsettings.xml, have a look in the wiki for the format.

Edit: found it



Also I was wondering another thing.

If I'm watching, say "Big Bang Theory season 01" and want to watch many episodes in a row I have to set up a play list.

Is there any way to make a script so when I press "enter" it plays one episode but if I press "play or P" it playes all the episodes continuously untill the season is over?

It this what it should look like?

You know you can just press play from the season folder?

Yes but when I do it only play one episode.

What about this?

I believe you'd have to be running a pre-eden build, but this gives an option in the context menu to 'play from here'.

It this what it should look like?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<advancedsettings>
-<video>
<subsdelayrange>10</subsdelayrange>
etc
</video>
</advancedsettings>

It looks OK (I haven't tried it on my system) but you only need to add the entries you want to change. Any entries that you don't add are left at the defaults.

I'm having trouble making it work :|

I make a XML-document and name it advancedsettings.xml

I edit it with notepad and inside I write:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<timeseekforward>300</timeseekforward>
<timeseekbackward>-10</timeseekbackward>
<timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-30</timeseekbackwardbig>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

I save the document and copy it over to the "userdata" folder.

Is there anything other that this that I have to do?

That sounds about right However I don't understand what I need to do with the file.

There isn't anything you need to do with the file What that means is the next stable version of XBMC will have that ability built into it. So you can either wait until that version, Eden, is released or run a pre-release build to have that ability now.

etc

Press Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

notepad "%appdata%\xbmc\userdata\advancedsettings.xml"

Click OK and this should open your advancedsettings.xml file. If you get a prompt to create a new file it means the advancedsettings.xml is in the wrong directory. In that case answer Yes when Notepad prompts to create a new file and copy and paste your settings into Notepad. Close Notepad and save the changes.

To check XBMC is finding and opening the advancedsettings.xml run XBMC, go to Syetm settings, Systsem, Debugging and enable debug logging. Now close XBMC, open XBMC then close it again. Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and typing:

notepad "%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

Click Ok and the log will open in Notepad. Your log should include lines like (this is from my log):

Code:

NOTICE: Loaded advancedsettings.xml from special://profile/advancedsettings.xml
NOTICE: Contents of special://profile/advancedsettings.xml are...
            <advancedsettings>
              <loglevel>1</loglevel>
