Please add seek/forward key or shortcut to the internal video player

Post by QuickHero391 »

Hello Xnview Team
after trying most of the free and available media players I didnt find any capable of playing files quickly without lagging and I was shocked when Xnview an image viewer was doing it way faster . I just wish the internal media player or viewer supported shortcuts like left and right arrows to go back or forth 10 secs.

is it possible to add this feature ?

Many Thanks

Really? Have you tried VLC?

XnViewMP has a very rudimentary video player. If VLC is "lagging" whatever that means and not performing well on your system, I would strongly suspect issues with your system. VLC is renowned for working properly and playing videos when other players fail.
