I may be wrong but i think what he means is the ability to drag or click on the progress bar to skip around in the video, which isn't currently possible. It has been requested in the not too distance past though. I don't recall what the devs said about it.

That's exactly what I'm looking for timdog82001, it's much faster to zip around a video when you can point and click at a slider instead of using fast forward buttons. I'd also love to see time indicators (time played, time remaining etc.) when I wave the mouse while watching a movie, as all I see now is the X-shaped button bar but that may be a function of the PM3.HD skin I'm using.

Hi guys,
In most apps and movie players you have a seek bar, which you can click on and jump straight to a certain part of the movie - can you do this with XBMC? I know it's designed to be used with a remote (or Xbox controller!) but it'd be ideal if you could just seek to a certain point quickly... kinda like what you do on the Xbox with the right analogue stick.
Thanks

Nope. A patch would be most welcome though!
Cheers,
Jonathan

it's not a desktop application. all the stuff you are asking for are desktop application features which are absolutely useless on a dedicated htpc. you are comparing xbmc to desktop video players. try comparing it to something a bit more relevant. does your dvdplayer have mouse controls, ability to minimize/maximize etc?

The thing is, XBMC isn't only a dedicated HTPC solution. But a viable media library with a versatile media-player on a desktop PC as well. So why not go the full way and support those little tid-bits that make other media players nice to use?

I've read this thread, the ticket/trac for voting, etc... Conclusion: agreed with former posters: 1. this is standard in every media player (yes, application/desktop), as well as web-based player. It's the deal breaker for the 10-ft. interface for the living room, even though I use a remote and skip buttons. I'll have to stick with the forerunner for most all interfaces such as this, the antiquated myHTPC and Zoom Player for the time being. I do wish this project the best of luck however, you've done some very nice things.
