===video player seek steps===*by any other name... skip steps, fast forward and rewind, jump steps'''Additive skipping''' (additive seeking) is a method of having increasingly larger skip steps the more times you press either the left key ← or right key →, you need at least one skip step configured for either the positive or negative direction together with having a skip delay set. As there are 3 skip values in the positive direction with 60 sec being the last value, therefore a 4th right key press will take 60 sec (value for 3 key presses) and add a further 60 sec thus the skip size will be 120 sec forwards, a 5th right key press will be 180 sec, and so on. The same behaviour also applies for the negative direction.This is problematic as it does not match the behavior of most other video players or live television viewers.The available skip step values can be further customised via the advancedsettings.xml file with the <seeksteps> entry. Custom define seek steps available in the GUI configuration by adding via advancedsettings.xml <seeksteps>7, 15, 30, 60, 180, 300, 600, 900, 1800</seeksteps>* <seeksteps> is not used to actually choose which seek steps are enabled.The problem many have with seek steps relates to Kodi's use of the so called "Additive skipping." You're trying to get past commercials and you press forward arrow too many times too quickly and now you've jumped ahead an hour into the program! The problem is you have to press, and wait, press and wait to get though the commercial which is a very slow process, otherwise seeking runs away and you've missed too much.'''Instant skipping''' is the alternative to additive skipping which behaves more like traditional media players. With no more than a single negative or positive step configured, together with Skip Delay set to none, then Kodi will instantly skip without a delay. For traditional behavior you need to switch from additive skipping to instant skipping as they are referred to within Kodi terminology.
