Problem with seek via horizontal touch

Postby StreamR » 29 Dec 2017 13:17

Hi,

I have a small problem with the function that allows to seek forward/backward the video by a touching the display and the moving the finger horizontally.

In my current 10" tablet this seeking function only allows me to seek +/- 30 seconds if I use the whole screen width of 21cm (e.e. start on the left screen border and move the finger the whole display width to the right). This is really annoying and as I remember on my previous VLC installation I could seek a lot more than 30 seconds.

Was something changed in VLC or is there an option to configure the sensitivity of this seeking functionality?

Or can this be a problem with the OS (Custom Lineage 14.1 based ROM?)

I looked into the source code of VLC and found out that the sensitivity of the function "seek via touch" bases on the xdpi value, a value provided by the OS.
This value is unusual high (4 times higher than it should be).
