You could only move in the video via the new remote’s touchpad control on the video timeline. That touchpad is probably great for a lot of things, but doing 30 second skips is not one of them.<br>

</div></div>What is the exact name? Can you provide a link?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The name is “MythTV”. I don’t think there are any web links to Apple TV only apps - making them really hard to find. I also didn’t find any other reference to the app on the web prior to launch. I guess the author is not one for marketing. The only current way to find it is to search within the app store on the Apple TV.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">Re playing un-transcoded recordings, is your AppleTV on a wired connection or wireless (which flavour)?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I’m on wireless, 5GHz N / AC. I’m guessing the new AppleTV is using AC. My other frontends are on N-wireless, and all can do ATSC MPEG2 playback just fine. Obviously, your mileage may vary depending on your house and wifi location.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">I don’t have a new Apple TV, but I understand that at least some players implement a 10 second skip forward/back by tapping on the right/left of the player bar. Have you tried that?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I did try that. I also tried input from IR to see if my universal remote could control it. Navigation worked fine, but skip ahead / back did not.</div><div><br></div><div>I later read the notes in the app listing (RTFM) and there it said slide up on the touchpad is +30s, slide down is -8. That works pretty well, and is much better than trying to navigate the timeline. But, I think the remote goes into power savings mode pretty quickly, because it seems to miss the first slide after long pauses.</div><div><br></div><div>When the remote is working, the skip ahead/back is pretty quick. Not as quick as a native frontend, but nothing is. If it would react to IR navigation in all four directions, like Mythfrontend, it would be a big improvement.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
