Add jump forward and backward buttons to playback controls #76

Open vsekhar opened 5 years ago

Add jump forward and backward buttons to playback controls (for on-device playback as well as Chromecast playback). Similar to Netflix controls.

I suggest a 30 seconds forward (since it might require lots of forward jumps to get back to where you were previously) and 10 seconds back (so you can use it to fine tune where you are after you've gone a bit too far).

For on-device playback, the app uses whatever video player you have, so you should be able to get that feature by installing another video player that has it.

The flow I think you're referring to (which I just discovered) is:

  1. Open file in Put.io app
  2. Tap Stream (or Stream
  3. Choose video player (if necessary)
  4. Tap Cast icon in video player
  5. Use controls in video player

whereas my usual flow is:

  1. Tap Cast button in Put.io app
  2. Open file in Put.io app
  3. Tap Stream (or Stream original)
  4. Use controls in Put.io app (?)

In the second flow, the controls seem to be provide by the app. It has the advantage of maintaining the cast session rather than having to re-cast (and choose display) at the start of each file.

Is this a deprecated flow?

Sorry, I was talking about playing and watching on a phone. Yeah, the UI for casting leaves a lot to be desired. Improvements can definitely be made.
