Skip2time:
A GUI hack to jump to a specific point in a recording



Requirements:

newtext2osd located in /var/hack/bin
mwstate bug fixed.

Install:

Copy newtext2osd into /var/hack/bin
run ./fixmwstate.tcl and reboot

start the hack with

Code:

%  /var/hack/skip2time.tcl 

Usage:

On the program description screen, press "skip key",
then the hours/minutes you want to jump to in the recording,
then press the skip button (its underneath the FastForward button)

E.g. type 1:22 to goto 1 hour 22 minutes into the recording.

When you press the skip button,
after a short delay it will jump to livetv & back,
then start the recording at the point requested.

version history:

1.1: Now only visible/active on first press of the skip button

 

It sets the jump directly in mfs, so 30sec skip still works etc
