Playback Control

[brew]

Excuse me if some of this has been said already but what I'd like to see is better playback control. I'd like to be able to:-

1) Start Playback from 5 minutes into the file
2) Skip to a 'Bookmarked' point
3) Play all files in a folder (I know this has been mentioned before)
4) Have the ability to toggle the play progress bar permanently on or off.

5) Skip by a pre-defined (config file) time period - again I think I've seen mention of this before

Now I realise for 1) you need an index file to do it accurately but + or - several seconds would be fine I think.

Whilst on this subject I find the skip button hard to use. If I press it repeatedly I can pretty easily crash the box. Is this a known problem?

Hi,
I previously suggested another way of skipping a variable interval. At this moment you already can skip any number of seconds, but this requires you to enter the number of seconds and the press skip. (In v. 20 the number pressed is actually shown on screen, be it a little delayed).

However, what I suggested was enter the number of minutes. For amounts smaller than one minute precede the part with a zero.

So: skip five minutes is: 5 <skip>
skip half a minute = 0.5 minute: 0 5 <skip)
skip six seconds = 0.1 minute: 0 1 <skip>
Given the current on screen display, pressing the zero as first character could actually show 0. This would create proper user feedback.

Given that skipping seconds is, in my experience, only done on rare occasions, whereas skipping several minutes is done most of the time (i.e. skipping commercials) this idea would greatly reduce the number of keypresses!
