Change skip length in a video?

Dirki · 2012-08-13 15:45

How can I change the length of a skip I go forward / backward in a video? E.g. I want to skip 5 seconds forward by pressing the right arrow key and when I press it twice, I want to got 10 seconds forwards.

see:

<timeseekforward>30</timeseekforward> 
<timeseekbackward>-30</timeseekbackward> 
<timeseekforwardbig>600</timeseekforwardbig> 
<timeseekbackwardbig>-600</timeseekbackwardbig> 
<percentseekforward>2</percentseekforward> 
<percentseekbackward>-2</percentseekbackward> 
<percentseekforwardbig>10</percentseekforwardbig> 
<percentseekbackwardbig>-10</percentseekbackwardbig>

I don´t use this options myself but this advancedsettings.xml (just create a file named advancedsettings.xml in your userdata-folder and copy the
following code into it.) should do what you want.

Code:

<advancedsettings>

    <video> <!-- "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 -->

        <usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeking>  <!-- Whether to use time based or percentage based seeking. -->

        <timeseekforward>5</timeseekforward>  <!-- Time to seek forward in seconds when doing a short seek.  Defaults to 30. -->

        <timeseekbackward>-5</timeseekbackward>  <!-- Time to seek backward in seconds when doing a short seek.  Defaults to -30. -->

    </video> 

</advancedsettings>

The wiki-page on this topic is really good, give it a read:
advancedsettings.xml
