SeekBar Thumbnail Preview

Postby Dry4Haz » 12 May 2018 19:25

It would be great to have a feature like that and I think most people would like something of that sort.

Not really a feature but still. When speeding up a video the audio gets sped up in a weird way, like it cuts out some parts of the audio. For example if I speed up by 200% the audio only speeds up by 150% and then it's cut up to compensate (if that makes any sense), anyways, just something I've noticed when comparing to mpc-hc and youtube.

I apologize if necro'ing old thread like this is frowned upon but I recently installed Infuse 6 Pro on my Apple TV 4 and I love it's ability to direct play everything and I REALLY love the little thumbnail preview it gives you when scrubbing. What I don't like is if I scrub too much, video playback turns into a mosaic mess and stays that way until I back out of the video and start fresh.

With VLC, I can scrub back and forth all day with no issues but...... no thumbnail preview. :(

Would love to see this feature added!

People have been asking for this for 13 years, according to various Google results, so I wouldn't hold my breath. However, if you're looking for a lightweight player that does this (or if the VLC developer is looking for inspiration on how), MPC-BE handles it fine.
