Unreliable playhead movement while video is playing. #25

Closed nisted closed 2 weeks ago

nisted commented 6 months ago

I have set a rotary button on companion to forward/rewind a video by x ms. If the video is paused actions can be repeated very quickly, or while playing if actions are only sent once a second or so, all works fine.
If actions are sent in quick succession (continually rolling the dial for example) the playhead jumps back to the beginning of the video.

Could you send me a copy of your log files for when this happens? I'd be interested to see what get messed up in this process.

Ultimately I suspect this isn't fixable, but could put a timeout on the action so it's a bit more user friendly.

We're heading into PPT-as-a-media-server territory here - probably not a good idea!

Probably not fixable due to latency issues.
