Video player that has 10 secs back & forward buttons ?

#1 Post by vmars316 »

Hello & Thanks ,
Is there a video player that has
[back 10 seconds] and [forward 10 seconds] buttons
like Netflix has ?

Thanks

I'll add that with Potplayer one can also edit any skin to make a button on a skin become 'go forward/back in time' rather than 'go to next/prev file'. The commands I'm aware of for the first Time Jump value seen in the Playback preferences Ding mentioned above are:

Code: Select all

ID_PLAYBACK_5SEC_BACK
ID_PLAYBACK_5SEC_FORW
It says 5Sec but it represents whatever the first value is set to in the prefs, at least on the version of PotPlayer I use. One can open up a PotPlayer skin using 7zip (skin files are just renamed zips) and edit the 'VideoSkin.xml' file, then change whatever <Button> element has the CmdID of ID_PROCESS_PREV and ID_PROCESS_NEXT, to the command values above.

If you want to make the button tweaks a little more useful you can keep the Prev/Next commands on the button but designate them to only function when right-clicking the button rather than left-clicking, by adding AltCmdID='ID_PROCESS_PREV to the Prev button after the CmdID I mentioned, and similarly adding it for the Next button, changing the value to match.

Portable VLC does this. Try Shift-Arrow (left or right) to go back or forward 3 seconds, Alt-Arrow for 10 seconds, and Control-arrow for 1 minute.
The hotkeys can be manipulated by going into the settings. Here is a whole bunch of hotkeys for VLC

Also with VLC you can add clickable buttons to the gui;
go to: Tools > Customize Interface
then drag buttons from the list onto 'line 2'
