Frame advance
 

Is there a way to step forward and backward through a paused video one frame at a time with BSPlayer?

Yes. Stop the video by pressing space and then use left/right arrow. This feature depends on the video decoder used to playback the file. Sometimes it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Is it possible to make a skin with buttons for this? I've only found buttons that make it jump 10 seconds in each direction.

You can make your own skin, or edit an already made skin to fulfill your needs.
Go here and search for a skin of you preference, then (if it hasn't that feature) either follow skin documentation guide or use my SkinMaker to add that feature ;)

I've actually made skins before. I just haven't found button functions to do a frame-by-frame movement like you can with the right and left arrows.

You need to use the Seek backward/forward action :wink:

Thanks, Tizio. I'll look for those functions.

As referref to in my Help2Help-post:

I've been problems with that Pause step back/fort.

I remember that different month ago I could it ad will without ANY kind of problems. Now there is no way to make it work with any kind of movie or vids I use.

Any of you have some sudgestion about how to fix that problem? Cause the pause and the little step forth and back was totally aswesome to take clear screens

As mentioned under MISCELLANEOUS item "(b) I wish to capture screens, but ... " of my Help2Help-post:What codec/filter(s) is BSPlayer using when you're experiencing your problems?
(Perhaps read last line of item (3) of my Help2Help-post.)
:wink:

I read it already and I understood it's a codec problem but still I would like to understand which one does that and which one does not.

I'm using the fddshow since ages. Long before I never had problems cause I remember that the Pause funcion worked propely, maybe it's the update of the codecs that ruin it?

Should I go back to plain dvix pack?

I don't know it this can be a solution, but for seek problems sometimes re-registering quartz.dll do the trick..

I can try that, can you tell me how to do the re-register?

Thanks.
Just tried but it's like before, when I pause the video it's just move of one frame ahead and then nothing more. It doesn't move backward, just forth of 1 frame and nothing else...

How I hate that, it was so good to pause and find the right frame to capture :(

When you pause a video you can just go forward from the point where you paused it. Then you'll be able to come back, but only 'till the point where you paused the movie.

If this is not your actual problem, maybe check the Keyboard shortcuts in BS.Player preferences (CTRL+P -> Key definitions & WinLIRC -> Seek Backwards)

I know that too.

I was just saying this:

I run a video.
I stop the video.
I can ONLY move a frame forward and cannot even go backward

It would be very good to have that feature - to do frame by frame movement forward and backward. Sometimes you really need to play some videos frame by frame. I can remember, a few years ago I was using that feature a lot, but now it doesn't work at all. :(

Could you try using "Overlay mixer" as "Rendering mode" under
(rightclick >) Options > Preferences > Video > [Video rendering]
:wink:

Yes, I did.
But it works in a different way. It moves forward or backward one by one second, but not frame by frame. :(
Can you guys help me, please? I really need that feature. :wink:
