Can I change some functions while I make a new skin?

[bea]

Hi!

I'm planning to make my own skin for my VLC player and I've got some questions about how much I can change the functions of the player.

One of the things I would like to do is to be able to rewind the files. As the player is now, it can fast forward and make the file go in slow motion. Is there any way I can make the player to rewind the files?

One other thing I really would like to do is to make the player play the sound while it is in the fast forward (or rewind) position, so you could hear the actual sound go fast forward (or backwards). Does anyone know if that is possible to do? Has anyone tried to get the sound to do that?

It would be really helpful if someone has some tips for me how and if it is possible for me to do these changes in the VLC player.

Best regards from Bea

Well... most of it is code within VLC itself; not something that's added by the skinner, so adding the ability to rewind would have to be coded in VLC first and then used by the skin, CloudStalker believes. As for retaining the sound when rewinding and fast-forwarding, this will be working for VLC 0.9.0 and is currently functional in the nightly builds.

CloudStalker is kinda working on a skin as well.

Rewind like going backward or starting at the beginning ?

CloudStalker is pretty sure bea means going in reverse, like fast-forwarding but the opposite.

Yes that is what i mean. The opposite of fast forward.

And thanks for the replies by the way. =)
