Mouse controls for interface/playback

Postby CloudStalker » 14 Mar 2007 06:32

Would it be possible to add the following to mouse controls:

  • Right-click to pause and play video
  • Jump back/forth with mouse wheel (when player is selected/in full-screen)
  • Left-click once on video window for full-screen and once again to go back to video window (same with preview window)
  • Press the left and right mouse button simultaneously or the mouse wheel button to bring up the menu
If there’s another idea for bringing up the menu in the QT4 interface with the mouse, then disregard that last one. Thanks again for putting up with all of my outrageous and or ridiculous requests, but bothering you guys is such fun! :P

Noooo... For me it should be:

Right click must be the menu!

Left click could be play/pause

Double left click for fullscreen

Mouse wheel for volume

How about allowing for the user decide this. Would it be too difficult to make these options in the preferences menu? The only option I can edit for the mouse in the “Hotkey settings” is the mouse wheel.

Besides, single left-click doesn’t do anything anyway, not for me it doesn’t. :?

Right click must be the context-menu!

Left click could be play/pause in fullscreen mode

Double left click for toggle fullscreen/windowed mode

Mouse wheel within fullscreen for volume up/down
i agree to that version! This one is well known on thousands of users who used BSPLAYER and other well known media players on MS windows and is most intuitive.

however i also recomment to start polls to ask the community.

btw at viewtopic.php?t=35698 i mentioned similar improvements for VLC.

Stop comparing this non free player (and spyware and adware) to VLC.

do not tell me what to do and what not to do. i compare competitive media players. and as u should know, there was a time bsplayer was free AND without any spyware/malware. meanwhile there is no more free version without spyware. but it is still state of the art. so why not learn from the best?

meanwhile i WARN any user from using the free version of BSplayer which contains some kind of SPYWARE for "sponsoring". beware
