Single frame advance

Postby AxelBoldt » 12 Aug 2007 22:42

The one mplayer feature I miss in VLC is the possibility to advance for (about) one frame when the video is paused. Any chance that that gets implemented?

Thanks,
Axel

VLC version: OVER 9000!!!
Operating System: It's...blue screen
Location: Heaven? No no. What's that other place that starts with an "H"? Oh yes: Home. ^_^

Ok, if it's technically not possible to do single-frame advance, maybe one could have a poor man's substitute: a key that has the effect of restarting the paused movie and then pausing it again immediately afterwards, maybe 1/10 of a second later or so. I often find myself hitting space in quick succession. Cheers.

More's the pity. I keep Zoom player for single-frame (works via mouse wheel, pretty cool) and PowerDVD for its DVD control buttons. I'd sure like to strip it down to just VLC, but I guess that won't happen.

I just posted an idea of how to implement a frame advance feature in the thread linked to above. I think my idea should work. There definitely must be a workable way to get this feature implemented one way or another.
