This is driving me crazy and I hope someone can help.
I have a video that is 2 hours long and I keep getting interrupted when
trying to watch it. So I shut down media cenete or switch to an alternate
show and when I come back to my show, I can't select the time or just click
on the seeker/progress bar to get near the right time. Can someone please
tell me if there is a way to select or more easily skip to the part of a
non-chaptered show? My system runs from a server and my monitor is my TV so
there is a mix of imported video formats, no recorded TV.
Thanks in advance,
Melissa

Sadly, no. This feature has been requested for Video content, but has not
yet been implemented. Its handled within the Recorded TV programs by
inserting the information into the metadata in the DVR-MS wrapper. Since no
modification is done on MPG, AVI or other video formats, the information as
to where you paused it isn't stored.
