I have wanted this feature forever... i think it should be pretty easy to use the current PlayerControl to add something like the SeekPercentage(x) but with something like PlayerControl(IncrementFrame(x)). When i say easy i obviously mean for the seasoned veterans like jhsrennie (who implemented the PlayerControl(SeekPercentage(x)))

Speaking of SeekPercentage, a feature i use CONSTANTLY, will it still work in Frodo? I noticed that it is only documented in the HTTP API and since that is going away, does it affect this awesome feature?

For those that don't know what i am talking about, SeekPercentage will bring you directly to a percentage of any media playing as long a you configure it properly in your Keymap...

For example, my keymap.xml has this section in it :

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
      <zero>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(99))</zero>
      <one>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(10))</one>
      <two>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(20))</two>
      <three>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(30))</three>
      <four>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(40))</four>
      <five>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(50))</five>
      <six>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(60))</six>
      <seven>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(70))</seven>
      <eight>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(80))</eight>
      <nine>PlayerControl(seekpercentage(90))</nine>
      <period>SkipNext</period>
      <comma>SkipPrevious</comma>
      <backspace>SmallStepBack</backspace>
    </keyboard>
  </FullscreenVideo>

What this does is when i press 1 on my remote or keyboard, it goes to 10% of the video, 2 goes to 20%, 3 to 30%, etc...

It is an awesome feature that will even work on some stubborn video files where you cannot fast forward. It is also more stable than multiple BigStepForward on certain videos (lotsa well timed BigStepForwards will almost always crash XBMC)

If this feature is not in Frodo then that's a deal breaker for me

I haven't tried Frodo because of wanting something stable before submitting my massive library to an update...
