Hello,
I wanted to change the AdvancedSettings.xml file in order to make a small backward of 5 seconds for movies and animated with subtitle.
The concern is that when returning back, it's never exactly 5 seconds, it may be 3s, 5s, 10s, it's truly random.
Is it possible to do a search by frame ?
Thanks !

It's not possible with hw decoders. As they normally decode forward. If you need this "video editor" like behaviour try without hw acceleration.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Even without acceleration, the problem is still there.

Correct. This behaviour is not limited to hw decoders but decoding in general. Some videos only have recovery points every 10 seconds. That are the points where decoding can be started without having video corruption. Assume we are at the position of a recovery point and want to go one frame back. We would need to go 10 seconds back, than decoder almost 10 seconds forward.

And it is not possible to search by frame rather than second ?

@Alyy: At least _try_ to read what we wrote above.
