[All] Better seeking in movies when using remote
#1
Today, it's pain to move 1h into a movie. Also, I would not like to increase step time when pressing left/right arrow as I sometimes need to skip back 30seconds and similar. I know we have an opion for pressing in digits for moving into a specific time of a movie, but I had to disable that to get the filterkeys to works.

I really really miss the old seek function on the Xbox, where we used the digital stick to traverse the time within a movie.

Now I have a normal remote and no analog stick. However, could it be registered that one holds down a key and thus steps larger steps after a while holding a button?

I know that holding a button using my remote will generate just a lot of button-clicks, but can't this be tricked using a timer thus it registers several clicks for 4 seconds as a key being held down?

Uhm IIRC there are two ways to seek:
1. Press Left/Right for 30s jumps
2. Press Up/Down for 10min jumps

I'm not sure about the actual time values but I'm pretty sure that Up/Down allows bigger jumps. The other option would be to use FF at highest rate (16x ?) to get going where you want to.

You can remap your remote just in the fullscreen window if you want the type-in-a-time feature (which also allows relative seeking - eg seek back 4:30 if you want).
