First, what version of tslib are you using? It looks like it's not 1.15;
Can you do try that and see if you have the samke problems?

skip, median, lowpass and iir are all filters that were added after 1.3 
or so;
see the release page https://github.com/kergoth/tslib/releases/ or the
NEWS file.

If you have these or any problems with 1.15 I'm happy to help you
from there :)

thanks
