step backwards / forwards doesnt really work

Postby blacknoise » 21 Oct 2021 22:18

Hi, when i watch films, and i use the toolbar button 'step back' to skip backward, it doesnt work proper: it jumps tiny bit forward (maybe some tiny seconds), but not back.

When i wanted to skip forwards, it does at most a view seconds forward too, but not really satisfying.

I guess, there might be anywhere in the jungle of adjusmentz a position, where it could be set?
but where ??
can somebody help?

thank u very much!

ps: we're talkin about 3.0.16

Try an alternative keyboard shortcut listed here: https://www.makeuseof.com/vlc-media-pla ... shortcuts/

keyboard shortcut
doesnt make sense, because this is a desktop for Video & TV watching only, a keyboard is normaly not or rarely used. (the keyboard is a bit to far to reach)

BUT isnt there anywhere a special setting possibility in the adjustments?
About the previous frame:
sorry, didnt find, what could help in this question!? could u specify this hint?

ANd sorry, i would like to have this by the toolbar button 'step back' & step forward, etc

It shows why the previous frame feature is not going to be implemented any time soon in VLC.

thank u very much!

Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = All) -> Interface -> Hotkeys settings
The jump sizes settings are on the right panel
After the changes save the preferences then exit and restart VLC.
