Do you always see films in Media Center? And do you feel the skip and replay intervals is too short for you? Actually...Media Center has a default skip forward time of 29 seconds and the replay time of 7 seconds. If you want to increase the intervals to give yourself a feww less clicks, just read this article carefully and you will get what you really want. I will show you how to increase skip and replay intervals inWindows 7 Media Center in the registry because Microsoft doesn't provide a setting for this in Media Center.
In order to access the Registry, click Start, type "regedit" into the Windows search box, and hit "Enter." If prompted by the UAC to allow changes, jsut click "Yes."
In the Registry Editor browse to HKEY_CURRENT_ USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionMedia CenterSettingsVideoSettings
Click once on the VideoSettings key to display the values on the right panel. Double click the "SkipAheadInterval" value on the right panel.
In the Edit DWORD Value window, Click on the "Decimal" radio button. You should now see 29000 listed under Value data. The value data is listed in milliseconds, so 29000 milliseconds is 29 seconds.
To set the skip interval to one minute, change the value to 60000. For two minutes, 120000, etc. Click "OK" when you've finished.
Scroll up in the right panel to find the InstantReplayInterval value and double-click it to change the replay interval.
Now click on the "Decimal" radio button and once again you will see the value data in milliseconds. Change the value data to your preferred replay interval time in milliseconds and click "OK."
Close out of the Registry and you're done!
Note: If yourWindows Media Center is currently running, you'll need to restart it before your changes will take effect.
