Post subject:  Question on Mplayer in R5D1
Question is now that the Snapstream remote is part of the KRP, I see that when you fast forward now and then play the audio is not off like before but it still not rewind. When you press the << button it just puts it at .5 speed. Do I need to change something in the lircrc fille to make this work.


Other than that I am loving R5D1!

The StreamZap remote doesn't have anything to do with mplayer's stability or audio sync behavior. Any changes for better or worse are most likely due to the upgraded Mplayer in R5D1.

Rewind doesn't work because Mplayer doesn't rewind :) You can skip back several seconds at a time, but I haven't seen any ability to play a video in reverse with Mplayer. If anyone has any leads on how to do this, I'd be happy to incorporate them into KnoppMyth's configuration.

Thanks for the replay. That is to bad that mplayer doesn't rewind.

I'm almost certain mplayer rewinds. If pressing the "rewind" isn't functioning as expected, perhaps it is an LIRC configuration issue....

MPlayer will jump back or forward X increments. I typically configure my remote with 2 FFW/REW SKIP/REPLAY functions in Mplayer one increment for small jumps and one for larger. Here is sample from lircrc file I use. Just change button names to match your snapstream remote.

Code:
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Forward
repeat = 3
config = Seek 10
end

begin
prog = mplayer
button = Rewind
repeat = 3
config = Seek -10
end

begin
prog = mplayer
button = SkipForward
repeat = 3
config = Seek 60
end

begin
prog = mplayer
button = Replay/SkipBackward
repeat = 3
config = Seek -60
end

The fast-forward is basically just a playback speed increase, the default key being ']' or '}'. The corresponding '[' and '{' keys don't go backwards - they just decrease speed. It doesn't turn negative, it just gets slower and slower.

In Mplayer GUIs, people have implemented rewinding in various ways, but mplayer itself has no rewind primitive, as far as I've ever been able to tell. If you can find a way to do it, that'd be fantastic :) I've always wondered why we can rewind in MythTV but not Mplayer.

Code:
cat /home/mythtv/.mplayer/input.conf
PGUP seek -60
PGDWN seek +60
or similar?

This is skip back and skip forward, not the same as rewind, but Mplayer does do that, and we configure it similarly on Dragons.
