Why is this not implemented for SmallStepForward?

Can it be implemented?

like +5 - +7 seconds
Hi gunni, thanks for posting in the forum.

This is going back a few years, but I understand that the SmallStepBack action was added because people complained that if they missed a few words of dialogue they wanted to skip back a sentence or two. No SmallStepForward was added because there wasn't a demand for it.

There is no technical reason why a SmallStepForward action can't be added, but you'd have to convince a developer that it's worth the effort. At the moment we're all pretty busy working on other bits of XBMC.

please read these advancedsettings.xml I believe it contains what you ask.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Adv...3Cvideo.3E

essentially
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <video>
   <timeseekforward>7</timeseekforward>  <!-- Time to seek forward in seconds when doing a short seek.  Defaults to 30. -->
   <timeseekbackward>-7</timeseekbackward>  <!-- Time to seek backward in seconds when doing a short seek.  Defaults to -30. -->[font=verdana][/font]
  </video>
</advancedsettings>
but do read the wiki it has more settings on delays etc taht may come of use.

Thank you very much!
ended up having it like this:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <video>
        <timeseekforward>10</timeseekforward>
        <timeseekbackward>-10</timeseekbackward>
        <timeseekforwardbig>30</timeseekforwardbig>
        <timeseekbackwardbig>-30</timeseekbackwardbig>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>

thanks again, this was bugging me so much!
glad it helped, however I still thing if smallstepbackward exists in as.xml so should the opposite like you asked originally but most of this settings are old and while they may work sure could do with a spruce up.
