I'm pretty sure it's a problem in my configuration cause can't find threads about this but I just can't figure it out. I've set timeseeking in the advancedsettings.xml but seems that i'm still getting skips in percentage. advancedsettings.xml should be in correct location since the other setting in there works fine. Any ideas? This is how my settings look like:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>
<timeseekforward>5</timeseekforward>
<timeseekbackward>-5</timeseekbackward>
<timeseekforwardbig>20</timeseekforwardbig>
<timeseekbackwardbig>-20</timeseekbackwardbig>
</video>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

When you say the correct location you don't mean the actual XBMC program folder do you?

Also, check the debug log to see if it's being loaded.

xml is located in the userdata folder described in the wiki documentation (under Users folder in win7). debug says also that settings are loaded when starting xbmc:

<timeseekbackwardbig>-20</timeseekbackwardbig>
</video>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>




Here is the debug about the actual seek action. That playbackseekchapter is something that sticks in my eye? Is it jumping to next chapter? Where can this be disabled if that's the case?

After further research it does indeed seem that when I press up arrow in my keyboard the videos that have chapters jump to next chapter instead of timeseekforwardbig. When video don't have chapters I get timeseekforwardbig as expected.

In my keyboard.xml (located in userfolder, not install dir) I have <up>Up</up> under the global, and <up>timeseekforwardbig</up> under the fullscreenvideo.

Starting to think this might be an actual bug?

[steelman1991]

Don't think so.

I think that's the expected behaviour. Where chapters exist skip to chapter mark - fall back to skip where none exist. Whether that can be overridden is a question I don't have an answer for sorry.

[lateko]

Hmm, IMHO it would be a bit funky behaviour if bigstepforward was replaced by skipnext when video happens to have chapters. Could anyone confirm if this really is the case? And if so, is there a way to disable it?
