Fast Forward Speed
 

First of all let me say that I am amazed that this software even exists and is free. It's very inspirational to me, since I am a developer as well.

Anyways, one thing that I think bsplayer is REALLY missing is variable speed fast forward and rewind. Right now I have to hit "." a bunch of times to get where I want.

It would be nice if I could hit fast forward once and get a certain fast forward speed (like the one now), and hit fast forward again to get a greater speed). Then maybe even a third time to REALLY jump forward.

The same would go for reverse.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

In this case maybe Jump function can be more helpful than FF or RW, don't you think ? Options, play, jump to time...

The problem with the jump function is that I keep having to press the button. Using a remote control and pressing the button a bunch of times to jump is a pain (I am using a remote control to access bsplayer).

If I had a FF button that would just go until I told it to stop, it would be much easier.

true, this is one great feature missing

How about making use of an increased "Playback rate"?
(rightclick > Playback > Playback rate)
Or - in (redefinable) shortcuts - e.g.:
Ctrl+F5 - Fast forward (x2)
Ctrl+F6 - Fast rewind
Shift+F5 - increase playbackrate by 10% (can be used repeatedly)
Shift+F6 - decrease playbackrate by 10%
:wink:
(Note default shortcuts and WinLIRC "keys" can be customized/redefined; see rightclick > Options > Preferences > "Key definitions & WinLIRC")

Plz imagine viewing not a movie but some suveillance "tape", not knowing WHEN something you dont don't exactly know WHAT is was will happen on screen: skimming scenes (NOT skipping frames!) with -say- 16x-speed, stopping, reversing and slomo-ing is your desire!

It is not my feasible way to increase by 10%, but I'd definitly would like a "increase speed by 100%"- and a "decrease speed to 50%"-function.

I'm aware of how rare my wishes are, but perhaps there is simple remedy I overlooked!
