Description Noah Levitt 2003-05-26 01:32:47 UTC 
It would be nice if totem had some or all of the following controls:

 play forward / backward
 slower / faster / normal speed
 next frame / prev frame

I'm afraid you'll say these buttons will complicate the interface too much.
But I contend that 

 - these actions are intuitive 
 - these actions are useful even to newbies 
 - totem is so simple now that it has room for more functionality

 play forward / backward
Playing backwards doesn't work with anything but DVDs, so I won't
implement it.

 slower / faster / normal speed
That's an interesting one. I'll look into it.

 next frame / prev frame
This is not possible with xine

About the slow/fast motions, I wonder how that would be added to the GUI.

Mass reassign.
Comment 5 Emmanuel Pacaud 2007-02-05 10:11:05 UTC 
If a slower/faster mode is implemented, it would also be really nice to preserve the sound frequency (no "helium" voice effect for faster speed).

I don't know if this effect is supported in gstreamer or xine though.

Stepping through frames would be very useful, even if it only works forward. Please add this functionality. If the Xine backend doesn't allow such things maybe you should just dump the Xine backend. Who needs two backends anyway?

Consolidating the variable speed playback bugs to bug #417141.
