Hi,
I have one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin_PowerMate that I use for video scrubbing in other apps.
I can set it up to send the shortcut commands for frame forward and backward on ELAN but every time this command is sent ELAN pauses the video.
Would it be possible to have another checkbox in the playback panel that enables/disables video scrubbing? When the checkbox is clicked video playback wouldn’t be paused when there is a command to move forward or backwards.
Hi,
I’ll add this to the wish list.
It’s already clear to me that this requires quite a bit of work; ELAN embeds several “native” media frameworks, some depending on the operating system, and each might need a different approach in order to make this work. E.g. I checked the player used on Windows for .mp4 files and not only the ELAN part (written in Java) would need modification, but also the “native” part (written in C/C++). By default this native player is “asynchronous” and I guess the usual event handling after setting/changing the media position will need to be reconsidered too.
This to illustrate that this is not a trivial change to the system.
