I've been looking for a command that I can add to keymaps/keyboard.xml that will allow me to step 1 frame forward or backward in a movie (using the "[" and "]" keys)
After a cursory glance around the various forums and the XBMC wiki (http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Keymap.xml), I couldn't find any posts relating to this, and I think if it's not built in to XBMC, then it should be easy to implement.

I'm trying to go through Fight Club and stop on the subliminal frames that are in the movie, and it's impossible without a way to jump forward 1 frame.

and actually, just so I don't look like a smart-alek, I just tried to frame step on windows and it didn't seem to work.

I can't imagine adding a framestep command would be that difficult. Grated I'm not a programmer, but wouldn't it just be telling xbmc "Hey, you know that thing you do 24 times a second? Yeah, how about just doing it once."

DVDPlayer has no such feature as of yet, xbox has it only through mplayer. And the task is far from trivial, you have to keep the player in sync, which means keeping track of demux, decode and presentation of all of the audio/video/sub streams. This is one thing when everything is chugging along and your buffers are actually being consumed. Another entirely when everyone is sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Long story short, patches welcome.
