Improvements for entering time to jump to in HH:MM
#1
First thing I noticed with the 9.11 beta1 release is the ability to jump to a specific time during playback using the numerics on the remote. Woohoo ! great stuff. Would it be possible to reverse the number entry so it is quicker to enter times ? eg. numbers enter right to left so pressing

'1' '5' = 15 mins

'4' = 4 mins

'1' '2' '1' = 1 hour 21 mins

It would also be cool if the entry could be confirmed "Enter" so an accidental numeric press wouldnt jump to a time during playback.

I know I could have placed a feature request but pehaps Im missing something with my suggestion that would not work well. So feel free to support or flame Big Grin

I see no problem with this - I've often been pissed when I accidentally input a silly time - though to be fair just hitting a bunch of other numbers "cancels" it?

Not sure quite how well it works if you start entering a 5 though...

Cheers,

I can see that entering time would need some validation [HH:MM]00:71 or when input exceeds the total play time.

How about using a percentage value instead ?

only 2 remote keypresses '00' - '99' with 'ok' or 'enter' to initiate jump

also extremely useless. 'you have to check this scene. it's at 73% into the movie'. ever had that happening?

Times are more intuitive I think - easier to remember.

I think all we'd do it interpret as minutes if 2 digits, hours if more than 2, and ignore if more than the length of the movie.
