I’ve been using a separate mythtv backend and frontend for years.  The frontend was mostly Kodi built on top of mythbuntu 16.04. I thought it would be nice to have a frontend with a lot of integration of streaming and OTA TV.  Turns out Kodi totally changes their interface every year or so and it gets worse every time. Also the useful plugins break a lot and can’t deal very well with DRM content.  For that I was always using a browser with DRM turned on.

So if I have to do all that, I may as well use the more stable Mythtv frontend for the OTA DVR stuff and Firefox/Chrome for the DRM stuff like WatchESPN and Amazon Video.

Now to my question. One feature I liked about Kodi was how I could use quick presses of the remote right and left arrows to skip 30 sec/1 min/3 min/10 min.  Is there a way to setup the Mythtv Frontend to have different types of skips?  From what I can tell with Mythtv, right arow is 30 sec skip forward and left is back 10 sec.

Any pointer to more details on setting this up would be appreciated.

Thanks, that’s what I was looking for.  I have up arrow and down arrow for 10 minutes forward and backward.  I now have 60sec forward skip and 10 sec backward rewind.  I think that will work for me.
