TTBOMK, no.

Yeah, I have those mapped (as well as SeekRelative+/-15 and
SeekRelative+/-60). I find that the +/- 7 don't always work--depending
on your location in the video they may actually take you the wrong way
because xine doesn't have a proper seek table (as Myth does), so it
"estimates" the appropriate jump. That's why I mapped all 8
SeekRelative commands to remote buttons--which would be the best
approach if you have enough remote buttons).
