<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace">I
was recently given a Surface Pro 3, so I did
like everyone would do and bought a $25 dock
for it and turned it into a MythTV frontend :)</div>

<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Then
I got to thinking - since only my Roku (it is
currently a 100% Linux house) allows me to
play back episodes on all of my pay channels'
apps, I though - why not try Windows 10 - it
has tiles that are easily navigated with a
remote control and all of those channel apps
are also available there. I never made it
that far. The dock ethernet is Gigabit and
gets every bit of it, but kodi's skip forward
and back is noticeable to the point of
unusable (it takes seconds to go back and
forth a minute). An android nvidia shield is
instant with kodi doing the same thing. I am
just dumbfounded how something 10x faster and
with much greater resources than the shield is
so much faster.<br>

<div>I’m not 100% sure we’re talking about the same
thing, but from my experience:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The default Kodi settings have a delay before
acting on the skip ahead/back commands. Kodi has
logic for multiple keypresses jumping father (e.g.
i click = 20 sec, 2 = 1 minute, 3 = 5 minutes) so
it delays to see if more clicks are coming. For
a MythTV user accustomed to instant action this is
really annoying.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In <font color="#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">System -> Video -> Playback you can tweak these settings. Change ’Skip Delay’</span> to
0 for a much more responsive UI.</font> </div>
<div> (I wrote up a few observations when I first
set up Kodi. Mailing list link: <a href="http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2015-November/383134.html" target="_blank">http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2015-November/383134.html</a>

<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Thanks for the tip,
but I just tried that (it was set to 750ms) and it still
behaves the same (although a little time is shaved
obviously). My nVidia shields are pretty instant - I will
check one of those to see what those settings are (I never
changed them). I get the spinner for close to a second on
each jump.</div>
<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Oh well, I guess I
will start digging into Windows settings trying to hunt it
down (or search Kodi forums, etc)..</div>

<p>As well as changing "skip delay" to 0 , try changing "skip steps"
e.g. I have only -30 sec and 30 sec set, which works fine for me
in LiveTV and recordings<br>

If it is like anything else that casts, I should see display issues rather than network latency, but I am not. I will wait until I test with it cabled to a TV before I go digging any further - it will be here today and I'll test some more.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">-Greg</div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
