Bookmarks and chapters
|
Video bookmarks allow you to create saved points within your videos in order to be able to return to them. This could be compared to chapters in DVD videos. In order to create them, go to the point in your video that you wish to bookmark, select the button with the folded paper (from the Videos OSD), and select Create Bookmark. To jump to a previously stored bookmark, simply highlight and select it through the Videos OSD.
You can clear all the saved bookmarks by selecting Clear Bookmarks.
Episode bookmarks
Starting in XBMC v13, you can set "episode bookmarks" for files that are marked as containing multiple episodes. This will allow you to jump directly to the point when a given episode begins, from the library, even if it is in the middle of the video file.
