coolspot 18 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I use MBC through primarily Xbox 360's. Watch entire movies without problems. Occasionally I'll have to start a movie halfway through (like when my wife falls asleep and wants to rewatch). Instead of starting the movie from the start and skipping 30 seconds per button press, I find it quicker to go to my computer and through the server's web console remote control the playback to start at the time desired. Whenever I begin playback using this method, the screen goes dark after about 10 minutes of playback until I hit a button on the remote. I guess the screen saver is getting activated even though a movie is playing. Can anyone reproduce this? I'm curious if a fix is even possible.

Tikuf 663 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Try to disable the screen saver in mbc configuration area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14942 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It is not the MBC screen saver, it is the 360 itself and, no, there is nothing we can do about that. The XBox doesn't realize anything is going on so it kicks in the SS. Why don't you just resume the movie from the normal interface...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolspot 18 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Because I continued to finish watching the movie. She dozes off easily and will sometimes miss the middle portion of a movie =) I don't always catch that's she's dozed off so when the movie ends she says "can you rewind it 20 minutes" I think my solution will be chapter support which I saw was recently added. I don't think my theme "Roc" supports that yet so I may have to try out a different theme and see if chapter support is my answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC101 31 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) You can modify the registry on the windows server that's extending to the xbox360 so that the left and right triggers on the controller go forward and backwards in 5minute (or any length) intervals rather than the default. If you'd like more info on this let me know. It does require a reboot of the server however. For reference, here's the link for the registry edit http://experts.windows.com/frms/windows_entertainment_and_connected_home/f/14/t/29647.aspx but if you need help let me know.

coolspot 18 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks, I loaded the hive and made some changes. I'll have to figure out what my sweet spot is, but I know I want to skip more than 30 seconds at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC101 31 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I personally have 3 minute forward interval and 30sec backward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronvp 92 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also (this works for media center not sure for Xbox), on the remote, hit a number and then the skip button. This then will skip # * your skip foreward or backward interval. i.e.: If you type the number 8 and then the skip button and the skip interval is set for 1 minute, it will skip 8 minutes!!
