Undocumented 3.0 quickskip enhancement?

I didn't know of any such enhancement to the 2020 build 17. Care to elaborate?

Enter a number and press either instant replay or quickskip. It will go backwards or forwards that many minutes. A number followed by JUMP will go to that minute mark in the program.

Wow - that's a nice undocumented feature. Did you just violate your NDA?

Thanks for sharing.

holycrap:


I doubt it. As far as I know; we were never "told" about this... ahhh... "feature." http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif

Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket!

This is certainly a feature I will use all the time once I get 3.0. Thanks for posting it! QUESTION: Is there a way in 3.0 to reset the default time skip from 30 seconds to, say, 2 minutes, so that simply pressing QuickSkip (without first pressing 2) would skip over 2 minutes of "undesired scenes"? Now that would be jolly useful!

I have not seen any menus where this could be done; perhaps there's a backdoor using the CFP?

Sounds like all you would need to do the one-touch super quick skip would be to get a programmable remote which you could program to send "2" and then quickskip for one of the buttons.


I'd like to find something where I could have a variety of one-touch buttons, like the existing -7 and +30, and maybe +2:00, -30, +7, and -2:00. It sounds like this new hack is limited to just multiples of even minutes, though. Still an improvement!


BTW -- I sure wish my DVD player had a "instant replay" button. There are so many instances where I didn't quite hear what was being said and a one-touch -7 seconds button would be really nice.

Yah, I'll second that. 3 + skip is already my favorite feature of 3.0, no doubt at all.


And here, I was afraid you guys were gonna give in to the forces of evyl and eliminate the quick skip button.


Thanks.


Hope y'all don't get into too much trouble over that.

I wish it would work in "live" mode. That is, I sometimes "pause live" and then return to a (dare I say it) 2 minute drill. I would like to 2 + skip it. Now I do the default 30 seconds. Just a wish.

Exactly, I was watching live tv and missed a segment when I walked out of the room for a commercial and came back later than I expected. I had really hoped I'd be able to use this new feature and hit 5-IR to go back in time 5 minutes, but nada, zilch, nothing http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/frown.gif

And Robman wonders why I programmed my QuickSkip and Instant Replay on Enter and PIP.... http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/wink.gif

When you say it doesn't work in "live" mode, does that mean it doesn't work when you're watching a delayed show from the buffer??

Yeah... And like if you are watching live tv and missed a few, it would be nice to be able to just hit 5-IR and jump back into the buffer 5 minutes.

I gave this a try; it's really cool!


Thanks Replay!
