I think it's possible to create it using JSON-RPC. Specifically "Experimental\JSONRPC\Player.Seek". I'll see if I can make a command for you, when I have time. You would need to first get the current position then add your desired seek time.

That is something you need to ask the XBMC developers.

With JSON-RPC it might be possible to do this, I'll have to look into it.

Do you mean to show/activate the XBMC window? or something else?

Is there an action to bring the video opened (currently watched and paused) in XBMC on top (in fulls screen mode, if not already being in)?

So the video is playing in the background with the XBMC homescreen/filelist showing and you want the video fully visible again?

You can use "XBMC2\Buttons\Remote\Dispaly" or "XBMC2\Actions\Media Playing\Fullscreen".

I've been trying to find some basic install info to make sure I have everything needed, but no luck other than this forum.

Yes, I would say, show the XBMC window, so just bring it on top, press the key and independently of what you see (which program is on top / visible), now the XBMC window comes to the top.

You can use "XBMC2\Buttons\Remote\Dispaly" or "XBMC2\Actions\Media Playing\Fullscreen".

Yes, I had tried some actions before, which might do it, but I cannot get it working: the system tray (the Windows bar at the bottom) stays (or comes to) on top also, so the video (screen) is covered by this bar.

I use "Add action:Window\Find a window" and "Add action:Window\Bring to front" in a macro to bring the XBMC windows in front.

Those actions only work in XBMC and don't effect other windows.

I am not sure to understand, using these actions always let the system tray appear in front on my system as it seems.

What settings did you use in "Find a window"?

It won't make XBMC fullscreen if it's in a smaller window.

For me they don't have any effect on anything but the XBMC window.

Anywhere you can put a macro. I think you need to select the code manually and not use the "Select all" link (If you did)

Yes, actually the same for me, but the system tray covers XBMC.
