Hello again,

There are a few threads about this but the answers never really address the question.

Is there are way to change the up/down skip steps in Kodi 17.6? They seem to be fixed at +/- 10mins and i would like them to be +/- 30seconds

Several people give a quick fire response to the left/right skip steps wiki which i KNOW can be changed through the GUI.

This needs to be done through an xml mod but the the wiki's are absolutely not clear on up/down skip changing


If someone has done this please can you give clear instructions on how they did it?

Regards

Ummm thanks but as i said i've read several threads on the subject including the one you linked where you say it is impossible but i actually successfully changed up/down skips in an earlier version (maybe v15 or v16)

I cant recall how i did it but probably piece-mealed together some code into an xml

Thanks

your page up/page down keys are for chapter navigation. this is dependant on having chapters in your video files.

if you dont have chapters in your video files then you use the left/right navigation keys which are for seeking e.g. set amounts time in settings-player. if you click the setting you can add/remove the set times.
multiple left/right key presses will jump you to the next time seek in the list. if you only want say 3min then you would remove all the rest of the times so each left/right keypress moves the video on 3min.

What needs to be added in advancedsettings.xml with changed values is:

<timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig>

see https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml

As has been mention the default actions for Up and Down are ChapterOrBigStepForward and ChapterOrBigStepBack so if adding different values does not work with the default mapping to may have to change Up and Down to be the BigStepForward and BigStepBack actions, see https://kodi.wiki/view/Action_IDs
