Fast Forward / Rewind (1 Viewer)

[Taglicht]

Hi, I just switched from MP1 to 2.2. I wish to be able to FF/FR at speeds of 2,4,8,16,32x like in MP1 and not only 2 and 4x. Please add also a time slider that indicates the progress and so...
Thanks!
Thomas.

@morpheus_xx , is there any technical limitation that prevents the player to advance at 8,16 and 32x ?

This was already asked several times and I link here the lastest answer I could find.

Not sure what you mean, there is a slider showing the progress. In which screen are you?

@morpheus_xx , any comment? I've wondered myself in the past why we can't avance faster than 4x.

I don't know an answer.

In MP1 I think it basically does 'real' (i.e. running the graph faster) fast-forward to x4, then supports faster speeds by doing repeated, short, forward skip-steps to mimic fast-forward. I think it always does reverse play (rewind) by using skip-steps.

The reason is that some filters don't behave nicely at high graph speeds, so the graph hangs/is slow to respond etc. Also running at e.g. x32 means you have to read and decode the stream x32 faster than normal...

Thanks @Owlsroost , very interesting.

Does MP2 use the same method of real fast-forward (running the graph faster) at x2 or x4 playback?
Just wondering if there is a technical limitation that does not allow a feature for smooth playback at (e.g.) x1.3, x1.5 or x1.8 etc, or is it a policy decision not to implement playback at in-between speeds?
