Jumpplay-patch

Description

The JumpPlay patch changes the behavior of the replay function if cutting marks are set. If an end mark is reached during replay the replay position jumps to the next start mark if available. This way commercials can automatically be avoided without cutting.

The features of this patch can be turned on or off in the Setup menu Replay.

Play&Jump	no	Turns automatic jumping over commercial breaks on or off. This includes the following: Jumping to the first mark if the replay starts at the beginning of a recording Jumping over commercial breaks to the next start mark if an end mark is reached Stopping the replay at the last mark The '8' key continues the replay three seconds before the next mark - whether start or end mark. This can be used to test if the editing marks are correctly positioned for a "smooth" jump over a commercial break.
