I don't think this is currently possible but there are occasions when it would be handy to have a 'single frame advance' button from 'pause mode' when playing back a video.
With multi-speed mode enabled, it is possible to step forward at a speed of about a frame every second, or so, but it would be handy to be able to pause a video and then step forward frame-by-frame on a keypress. On some 'normal' video recorders, pressing pause will pause, as expected, and then pressing it again will step forward a frame. Pressing play is needed to start replay once again.
Would this be easy to implement?
Cheers,

I agree this would be useful. Sometimes in Action or Horror scenes I am really curious what it really was that just flashed by.
Maybe green and yellow could be used altered, so they continue to go forward/backward one minute out of play mode, but would go forward/backward one frame out of pause mode?

Why not when _in_, respectively, play mode and pause mode?

You may be in play/pause mode before and after skipping forward/backward, but while you skip you are in skip mode.
Does that make any sense to a native english speaker?
I would certainly put it that way in german. :-)

Or, rather, VDR may be in the relevant mode. ;-)

Well... yes - but, wrt what's being discussed, it's a curious way of putting it. I prefer to consider playing, paused etc. as states within playback mode. (Strangely, we have "resume playback" from the paused state. I blame the language.)

That's "English" and "German". We do have /some/ capitalised nouns... :-)

I presumed that was what he meant!
Might have a go at writing a patch a bit later...
