View video while skipping forward or back? - samgreco - 2023-10-24
I have my skips limited to 10 seconds either way. So if I want to skip 30 seconds, I click 3 times. Sometimes I need to skip thru 1 or 2 minutes of commercials. I cannot see where I am in the video until I completely stop. Is there any way to see on every skip where I am in the timeline/video? Or is there a fast forward?
I am running 20.2 on Android (Shield, MiBox and CCwGTV).

Pause then skip on the top seek bar.

Thanks. But if I trying to see where I am as I'm skipping. More of a scrubbing I guess. Other players do it, like Channels DVR. I was just hoping I could do it in Kodi.

No you can't.

If you mean YouTube like thumbnails like below in Kodi, the knewc UI client addon for NextPVR does do it. I prefer comskip since if I want to use CPU to have ffmpeg post process the recording for thumbs to find commercials why not let it do the skips too? It is not a light operation
