The hotkeys for moving forward, backward, and volume do not work when trying to play a movie.
When I try to jump forward in small or medium increments it jumps forward more than it shuold, and after a couple fo clicks I am at the end of the movie.
When I then try to backup using hotkeys the slider continues to jump/move forward,
I did not have this problem with Ver. 1.1.11

Re: Hotkeys not working
Issue with all files or only with certain ones?
Re: Hotkeys not working
No. It seems to work OK with mp4 files and flv files.
I only seem to have the problem with hollywood movie rentals.
I was mistaken when I initially stated the problem, as I reloaded Ver 1.1.11 to use it and discovered it also has a problem with the arrow keys.
I don't remember it happening in the past with 1.1.11, so it is possible I've loaded something new that runs when I start the computer, but I have no idea what, or how to discover what program would be loading arrow key controls.
I have always used PowerDVD, V.5, to watch movies. I only recently started using VLC. PowerDVD, though, does not use arrow keys for hotkeys.
I am using
XP Home, sp3.
latest version of nVidia software.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Re: Hotkeys not working
It is most likely a timecode parsing issue. VLC seeks with timecode, and if those codes are incorrect in file, or VLC calculates them incorrectly, the seeks won't work as expected.
Re: Hotkeys not working
What does your response mean?
By the sparness of your answer, I gather you are not on the develepment or debugging staff, is that correct?
If you are, What can I do about it?
Why would a default setting be out of sync with movie industry standards?

Hi,It is most likely a timecode parsing issue. VLC seeks with timecode, and if those codes are incorrect in file, or VLC calculates them incorrectly, the seeks won't work as expected.
I also have a time slider problem. So this is most probably VLC problem.
It looks like it work before on version 1.1
