Playback control with keyboard

I would like to be able to quickly jump backward and forward in a video's timeline by pressing a key, for example, pressing one key would jump back five seconds, and another would make the video jump ahead five seconds, etc. Right now the left and right arrow keys are used for moving by frame, but that is less helpful for me.
Is there an addon for QuickTime Player (and even for iTunes) that will allow me to do this?
Thanks for your help!

Is there an addon for QuickTime Player (and even for iTunes) that will allow me to do this?
Not that I know of. But, it is interesting that the QT X Player includes a "SkipBack30SecondsTemplate" which may or may not have any future relevance to your question and about which we may not speculate here. There are also currently arrow key shortcuts for 2, 4, and 8X forward and reverse playback and goto beginning/end of file which can be used in place of the more normal control panel keys if that would help.

Ring control with keyboard shortcut

Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum!
Hi all,
Is there a way to assign shortcut keys to each items in a ring control? The ring control that I have currently has 40 items. My intention is to have it as follows:
[1] Item1
[2] Item2
[3] Item3, etc...
So, once the ring control is active, user can type in "20" to select item #20.
I tried EVENT_KEYPRESS, but as soon as the ring control pop-ups, I can no longer trap any key press events.
Thanks,
YL

Popping up the menu isn't the same as the control having focus for keyboard entry. They are mutually exclusive. One way to do what you want is to basically have to make sure the ring has KeyFocus so you can use the Input Device Control VIs to read the keyboard. You can, for example, set the KeyFocus on a MouseDown event, and unset it for a MouseUp. Then, in the Timeout case for the event structure you can be monitoring the keyboard to see what keys are pressed and act if the ring has KeyFocus. See attached (LV 8.2) as a starting point.

Playback control shows "Pause"

When my capitvates is launched the playback control shows
"Pause". I want the Pause to be Play. Help me! Pleazzz
thanks in advance

You can create your own playback controls with buttons or
click-boxes, or in Flash. But if you wish to use the ones included
with Captivate, their positions and functions are hard-coded.

Playback control in each slide

Hi there,
I am wondering how to replace the project playback control with same control of particular slide.
Any hints?
Thx

My slides are pretty long, each of them lasts up to 5-6 min with animations and audio. There are 40-50 of them in each project (I separated files according to what you said about multiple quizzes). That's why I need them to be controllable. The shorter period of playback control is taken, the higher accuracy can be achieved by the user.

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?

How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.

Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development.

Create playback controls for Timeline in sync with audio?

Hi All,
Technically, I've combined two questions into one. Firstly, can someone offer some insight on how to create playback controls for an Edge animation so the user can essentially "scrub" the timeline or navigate to a specific point on the timeline. I know you can create buttons to "sym.play()" different areas but I was wondering if there was a more streamlined solution (something similar to video playback controls.) Next, I'd like the user to be able to skip to different locations while the music remains in sync with the animations. I've created a few buttons to attempt to achieve this but the music plays independently regardless of where I jump to on the timeline.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I had some ideas why that may be so, but then, when I thought about it, properly, i have no idea why it is that way. Maybe it is because audio has a higher priority than graphics, in OS X, but if I remember correctly, it was like this before OS X. Maybe there is an offset for latency compensation, but they made it too large. (it seems to be the same amount, no matter what the buffer size is)
just to make sure we are seeing the same thing. on my (somehat old) G4 I'm seeing about 60ms difference.

Video playback control to be keyboard accessible

I need to make player controls accessible in Flash CS3 by using only the Tab and Enter keys. I am using the FLVPlayback's SkinUnderAllNoFullscreen.swf. Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.
Any ideas?

Satellite Pro A100 - Resume from Sleep with IR multimedia remote control or keyboard

Hi Guys
I have dedicated my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center that sits under the TV and can play networked media and DVD's etc.
This is using Vista.
The set up I want is that the lid is shut 24/7 365 and when I want to use it I just press "SLEEP" or power button from the remote control or keyboard and it fires up ready for action.
POINT TO NOTE. I successfully did this with my OLD Tecra M3. However was too slow for media center and vista
However I have set the power settings as I want etc, shut lid do nothing, and enabled hybrid sleep (preferred sleep).
Now I CAN put it to sleep with the multimedia keyboard or remote control. BUT can I wake it?...NO!. I have thought of everything possible....gone to device manager and made sure all the options for the remote and the keyboard and the USB reciever are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it being sat there like a dvd player.
when awake the remote and the keyboard function fine - I have made sure the batteries are recharged.
I have the latest BIOS and speaking of BIOS's there are no S3 power options I noticed , but then there werent on the M3 and that worked fine in terms of sleep and waking with the IR.
I come to the forum because although I know some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I am sure the twice as new and powerful A100 will.
Has anyone had this before - what have I missed it must be staring me in the face.
Thanks in advance.
P.S Also of late the touch pad has been playing up i.e the left and right clickers swap function so one second your working as normal next minute you left click and the right clikc menu appears. Reset BIOS - rebuilt - reinstalled synaptic - no difference.
When I worked in support for a big company when this started happening it wasnt good news - is it bad news?

Hi
Im not quite sure why it doesnt on your Sat Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
But fact is that Satellite Pro A100 doesnt support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
Tecra M3 supports the Fast InfraRed port.
Maybe this could be the reason why you cannot enable the notebook using the infrared multimedia remote control.

How Stop Pop-Up Advisory: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?"

Is there any way to stop the repeteing ad nauseum and excruciatingly annoying pop-up queery: "Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?" everytime one expands a Flash window to full screen?
Similarly, is there a way to turn off the "<webpage address> is now fullscreen. Press Esc to exit." advisement, which reemerges every time one's cursor grazes the top of the screen?

I hear you. There is no official way to get this done at this time. If you have a few minutes, I'd encourage you to visit this bug report and leave a comment/vote.

How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
rescales. Thanks

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Volume control keys not functioning. PC model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851

I am using a desktop slimline model: s5268hk, with keyboard model: KG-0851. I don't remember what program I installed that caused the trouble but anyway, right now- it is not functioning like the usual. I re-installed the driver from HP support yet nothing has changed. I appreciate any advice you can provide, thanks to everyone in advance!

You may have to go back to a known good system restore point.
Right mouse click on my Computer, select properties, then advanced system setting then restore. When you get to the restore window, check the box to show all available restore points and pick a date where your know when your PC worked correctly.
If you are using a Norton AV product then turn off "tamper protection" before you attempt a restore or it will fail.

508 compliance--Playback control shortcuts and screen readers

Reference to 508 compliance. If you publish the SWF file to
include the playback control bar what keyboard shortcuts work
and/or can you program them? What will screen readers programs do
with the playback control buttons?

Hmmm, so if I'm understanding the situation correctly, the
ideal response would work like this?
User types some text and is SUPPOSED to press Enter to
evaluate the text. Instead, they press Tab. Immediately upon
pressing Tab, they might see a message of some sort advising the
action is incorrect and further advising that Enter is the correct
action.
I could see this possibly happening a couple of different
ways.
1. You could insert a click box configured with a Success
caption containing the advisory information. Then set the shortcut
keystroke for the click box object to be Tab. End result should be
that the user presses Tab, sees the success caption (which looks
like a failure caption, since they didn't do what was expected) and
the action of the click box would result in re-displaying the slide
with the Text Entry box. (You do this by pointing at a .1 second
slide immediately preceding the slide with the Text Entry box.)
2. You could possibly configure the Text Entry box so that
either Enter or Tab will serve as the shortcut. You do this by
modifying the Text Entry box properties so it includes a Button as
the trigger. The trick is to assign the Enter key to the Text Entry
box itself and the Tab key to the button. (or vice-versa) Then you
configure the button so it's invisible.
Hopefully one of these helps... Rick

Playback control covers presentation

This is my second post to the forum. I apologize for my
horrible screen-name. Everything I tried kept getting rejected, so
I just hit random keyboard keys. :)
Anyway, I've been having problems with the playback control.
It appears on-top of the finished presentation, instead of just off
to the side (or bottom/top). If there a way around this, or do I
just need to leave space in my slide layout for the playback
control?
Thanks for you help!
Bryan

Welcome to our community, Bryan
As you are new to the community, I'm assuming it's a safe bet
you are using Captivate 2 or 3? If so, try clicking Project >
Skin... > Borders tab and seeing if you have a border enabled.
The Borders feature moves the playback control into its own
area on the presentation. However, this has the side effect of
causing an additional .SWF to be created. Assuming you want the
playback moved off the main part of the movie and still maintain a
single .SWF to distribute, you need to click Project > Resize
Project... and make the project taller. Then ensure the man part of
the movie isn't rescaled, but positioned so it leaves room for your
playback controls to sit in their own area.
Cheers... Rick

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
