Modify time seeking
#1
Hi,

at this page:

https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_time_seeking

is written:

"By default, Kodi uses the time tags for videos above 20 minutes, and videos below 20 minutes will use the percentage tags.
Set this to false to only use the percent tags regardless of video length (except for smallstepbackseconds, which has no percent counterpart)".

What have I to write in advancedsettings.xml to use only the percentage tags?
The only code I need is this?

<usetimeseeking>false</usetimeseeking>

Thanks.

It's unclear what you're trying to achieve as an end goal but in general you need to have more tags in that file.

See step 2 on the page you posted.

xml:
<advancedsettings>
 <video>
   <usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>
   <smallstepbackseconds>7</smallstepbackseconds>
   <timeseekforward>30</timeseekforward>
   <timeseekbackward>-30</timeseekbackward>
   <timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig>
   <timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig>
   <percentseekforward>2</percentseekforward>
   <percentseekbackward>-2</percentseekbackward>
   <percentseekforwardbig>10</percentseekforwardbig>
   <percentseekbackwardbig>-10</percentseekbackwardbig>
 </video>
</advancedsettings>

It shows the entire contents you need, you just need to change parameters to achieve your goal.

Thanks,

I don't want modify the default settings with my values.
I want only disable the  time tags for videos above 20 minutes leaving al same to original...

In the example you show I set with arbitrary values (7, 30, 600), the player behaviour.
I want this values stay at default numbers.

Is this right?

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<usetimeseeking>false</usetimeseeking>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

Yes that would work, you don't need all the settings within video but you do need the surrounding tags <advancedsettings> and <video>
