Frame Advance/Slow motion - shortcut - solved

[bazzle]

You can do this by pressing OK on remote, up click and then right click for each frame.

I have searched thru the keymap editor commands but couldn’t find this command.

Does it exist out side of the key step process I listed above?

I would like to pause a video and then move it a frame at a time without the large info bar at the bottom still being on screen as that sometimes hides content.

Add to your keymap file.

<keymap>
    <fullscreenvideo>
        <keyboard>
            <key id="yourbuttonid">PlayerControl(FrameAdvance(1))</key>
        </keyboard>
    </fullscreenvideo>
</keymap>

Thanks. Will try to find a key id to use

[bazzle]

I used Notepad++ . Others gave issues. Thanks

File with formatting open nicely in Microsoft edge but cant be edited there. This helps to view the file.

As shown in wordpad++

(See solved post on how to format into a proper table .

where I copied line to.

Edit…stopped working ..will start again

How is Progress? Notepad++ is best.

Maybe you already tried/know this . When you first open xml file,you need to Save As (All file types),not xml file format

After you edit, same thing Save As All file types)

[bazzle]

Yes I did that. Im not sure but I updated to 904 nightlie and “ALL” sort of issues have arisen. Will wait for 905 to try again.

Edit: I have tried many ways and different keys but I cant get it to work.

On Redditt I found this but the format doesn’t seem the same.

<down>PlayerControl(FrameAdvance(1))</down>

I will continue next week.

On Redditt I found this but the format doesn’t seem the same.

it’s exactly the same. only what you see is activated by the “down” button.
i tried it on my own system and it works

[bazzle]

Got it working OK. I cannot find a way fo it to work on a key repeat whereby it runs frames as you hold key. This works on the original Kodi 3 step way.

I have been working with Google Ai to modify about 40 variations on keys and codes until it finally gave up

This is what I currently have

I have also since cleaned up a couple of repeated commands etc. Still cant make continuous key press work

[bazzle]

Working…Frame advance or slow motion key

Final key map used on my Tox3 with Harmony Hub remote. Im using the Green function key. Short press= 1 frame. Long press continuous frame advance. But you can use any key from your own remote that has a repeat function.
You add its code to the line in edited . I used Notepad++ with the xml plugins activated. ctrl/alt/shift/B on keyboard changes format form text to look like below.
Spent 3 hours with Claude Lots of reboots and going to a different room. All it needed was to use a key that had a built in key repeat function like up/down/left/right OR in my case a Number (6) You can change multiplier in my case .05 or .025 but change is only small.

Nice Job Baz !!

I do not have many occasions to use this function, when I do ,I use my Logitech K400 plus wireless keyboard, and the default kodi keyboard shortcuts.

Maybe would have been good during the World Cup !!

Parallel the VR they use ,

Happy Testing

[bazzle]

Yes working good. My wife says I did it to watch ‘Boobies’
I have been using to catch those quick moments on screen when a note etc is flashed up in a vid but you don’t get a chance to read it etc.

[bazzle]

I changed the playspeed from .05 to .015 but got nearly no perceivable change. I was trying to see if I could make it slower. AI said it was something to do with key repeat speed setting.
