I cannot see a reason why jump shouldn't work while skipping
does. They both use the mplayer "skip" command.

The intended function was, to keep skipping while the button is
hold. So k_Repeat is the right thing.

No idea, but I'm not using mplayer regularly and have still pre8
installed.

Could you please provide this infomation:
-On mplayer startup you should see a log message
 "mplayer: script started (pid=xx)". Which PID is given?
-When VDR hangs (before killing any processes), do a "ps -axf"
 and send the part with VDR/Mplayer threads.

May be this can help to catch the problem.
