Support for short rewind/ff about android-vlc-remote HOT 11 CLOSED

yeah this is a must!!

thanks heaps for you work! its great!

v0.1.8 has keyboard shortcut support

Shift+trackball: +/- 3 seconds
Alt+trackball: +/- 10 seconds

(The new version isn't on Market yet, but you can download from the home page)

thanks very much for your reply!

i have the htc magic (g2) so i don't have a physical keyboard...

a couple of on screen buttons would be perfect...

thanks again!

Ok, I can probably add buttons to skip +/- 10 seconds.  Another option is to 
add buttons to change the 
playback speed, but I'm not sure if the protocol supports this.

that would be perfect! (it would be even more perfect if you could customise 
how many
seconds it would skip in a menu somewhere... :-) )

don't worry about changing the playback speed, that's not really what I'm after 
at all.

thanks again!

Just throwing out some ideas. These are just humble suggestions, not demands of 
any sort.

One option would be to add button << and >> (not |<< or >>|) that when pressed 
once
will do the short rr/ff (say 10s) and when long pressed would do the long rr/ff 
(say
1 min). For anything else, the crude seek bar combined with these new buttons 
would
be sufficient.

Another option: If the trackball l/r/up/down just moves focus between the 
buttons,
may be you could capture the it and make left/right act as short rr/ff and may 
be
up/down as long rr/ff?

I too would be glad if the rr/ff seconds are configurable. For me 10s and 60s 
would
work well.

Btw, I'm a G1 user but I still prefer not having to slide out the k/b because 
having
it open thru out a movie makes it very likely to get it broken by accidentally
putting my weight on it.

Oh, btw, thanks for the awesome app. The best UI among the VLC remote apps 
(except
for the missing rr/ff). Thanks a bunch.

I could maybe add the ff/rw touchscreen buttons in landscape mode only (since 
there
is not enough room in portrait mode).

The latest binary on http://code.google.com/p/android-vlc-remote/ now has 
touchscreen
seek buttons (+/- 10 seconds) when in landscape mode (but there isn't enough 
room on
the screen in portrait).  I'll post to Market once I get a couple other minor 
issues
sorted out (donut permissions, new server selection UI).

Issue 8 has been merged into this issue.
