I'm not sure of the reason, but backward and forward don't seem to work, no matter which shortcut I employ. I remember from my Windows days that some filetypes didn't like to be navigated in any player I tried, so I wonder if that might be the problem, but I've tried .avi, .wmv, .mpg, and .mp4. At least the . avi forwards in xine-ui. I thought this was an issue with 0.5.0, but it's still there. Let me know if you'd like me to provide you with some sample files of various types; you could see some nice guitar performances that way. :) Otherwise, a nice release; xfmedia's coming along!
not sure, works OK for me with mp3 and mpg.
Right, didn't think to try MP3, but the same thing happens (or doesn't?). Anything else I should try? A new configuration, perhaps?
you can try deleting the keybindings file in ~/.config/xfmedia/ (if you have one), though that shouldn't be necessary. otherwise, fire up xev, and try hitting the arrow keys to make sure they're coming up properly. also check the value of "state" in the list of printed parameters. it should be 0x0 when none of {num,caps,scroll}lock is on, and it should change if ctrl and/or alt is pressed down. if this isn't the case, there's something weird with your X setup.
Well, all is as you say. I normally leave my NumLock on; does that change my ability to use it as a keyboard shortcut?
OK, this doesn't work for me, even if I try a working shortcut (I tried j); is there anything else I can try? Can I test it against Xfce's or Terminal's shortcut editors or something?
do any of the other shortcuts work? is it just the fwd/backwd shortcuts that are broken?
Yes, it's just the seek shortcuts.
possibly-stupid question, but perhaps the streams aren't seekable?
There are no stupid questions. ^_^ Since you mentioned MP3s, I've been using them as my de facto testing standard. So, AFAIK, they are seekable. If not, can you find a file that is? Or do you want me to provide you with a link to something that isn't (for me)?
yeah, a pointer to a file that you have that isn't working properly would be great. you can attach it here, or if you'd prefer, send me a link to the file via private email.

sorry, but it works fine here.
I tried a fresh configuration and all the seek shortcuts work as you have defaulted them. However, if I change them, they no longer work. So, just to make sure, you're not just using the defaults?
i tried changing forward-10s to ']', and that worked fine. you *are* using the editor, right? not trying to edit the file directly?
Created attachment 149 My errant keybindings lol, yes, I'm using the editor in the program. Here are my settings.
