In order to get this answered as quickly as possible let me just say I did my homework before asking, even though I'm technically a n00b when it comes to XBMC I didn't want to make any typical annoying n00b mistakes...
While giving all the information required by those running this forum laid out by user davilla here, my list is as follows: OSX version 10.6.4, Macbook Pro Mid '09 2.53 GHz model, .dmg install, SVN Revision number: XBMC 10.0 r35648, debug log via pastebin.com here
GUI problems are that I can't skip forward or backwards via chapters in my 1080p .mkv encodes of my blu-ray rips. Using Aeon MQ2 skin (pretty awesome)
So that's pretty much a item-by-item listing exactly how davilla had it spelled out on there, I don't know if that makes me look like a brown nosing tool but I'm just trying not to waste anyone's time on here.
My question is I have these encoded (via Handbrake) blu-ray rips made into .mkv files for playing on my WDTV G2. I recently saw the light and am trying to make the transition over to the smooth interface of XBMC but I'm running into some snags. Mainly here's the first one: my .mkv files, even though in Handbrake I checked (make chapter markers) so I could skip forward if I needed to, don't skip forwards or backwards. Is this just because they are .MKV's? I heard somewhere on some other forum (like I said, I've been looking around a lot) that .mp4's (or .m4v's, same thing) have this functionality when played in XBMC.
I'm currently doing a two-chapter encode of my blu-ray rip of "Wedding Crashers" to find out, but whatever conclusion I arrive at I just want to know: Is it a difference between those two file types that leads to this kind of rift in functionality?
Sorry if I ran on, I minor in English so that might have something to do with it; plus I'm just trying to give all the information possible so I can put this question I have to rest, not look like a pretentious d-bag.
Thanks a lot,
Grant
