Movie/DVD OSD [Y] AND skip fwd/bkwd? (1 Viewer)

Hi all!

The situation is: if I activate the OSD [Y] in Movie or DVD playback I am not able to use the skip forward/backward functions [right, left, up, down] (I don't mean the fast fwd/bkwd funktion [F5, F6]!!).

I would like to use the skip funktions and see instantly the change of the progress bar, i.e. to see, where am I in the movie? This is IMO more intuitive than only seeing an abstract +/- value (at present the small OSD/progress bar disappears immediately).

An alternative could be an OSD/progress bar that is seen ca. 2 sec. longer after the skiping command has been executed.

The last few days I tried to achieve this by changing my SVN source code.
Now, since I'm not a pro it was more like a trial & error massacre and I wasn't able to manage it. :confused:

Therefore my questions:
Is my purpose possible at all (for a non-pro)?
I put my main focus on the GUIVideoFullscreen.cs; was that right?

Greetings and thanks for your answers!:)

PS.: I know, I know, I could use the fast forward/backward functions within the active OSD, but I don't like that way of navigating through movies, sorry.

I don't know what skin you use, but when I skip in a movie I do see a bar showing where I am in this movie. I can see this when playing a DVD and when playing a avi file. (I just wish this would work the same when playing a MP3)

Yep, I too see a OSD bar when I make a skipstep.

But the bar disappears immediately so that I don't see the NEW position of the progress bar after the skipstep.

It's like jumping from a hill without knowing where to land... ;)

This happens for me in TV mode as well.

I agree - you should be able to use the skip controls while the OSD is visible.

A little workaround

Meanwhile I wasn't able to get skip steps in the big video OSD [Y] but I managed it to delay the disappearance of the small top OSD bar.

The modifications below were made in the videoFullScreen.xm of the BlueTwo-Skin. There is still space for improvements but thats in principle how it works.

The Control.IsVisible(ID) entries are necessary; otherwise you would not be able to use command actions in quick succession with a correctly working OSD.
The current time info on the right should only be visible if there is no other info.
