I would be really glad for (Player)Shortcut-Support in Fullscreen-mode
1 Like
This is currently only possible with the HTML5 video player. The shortcuts are implemented with JavaScript and when Flash is fullscreen, the shortcuts can't be triggered. I'll look into a possible workaround for this.
okay... then u know what to do :D
jwplayer and what ever sockshare/bitshare are using, is working flawless and also much faster then the Plex/Web :( is this because of HTML5 ?
don't get me wrong, i love Plex/Web. i dont use the PHT for my Laptop anymore because of this. But keyboard support and a better speed would make it perfect to use it as a real Desktop-Player.
I believe those services convert your videos as you upload them. Plex transcodes your videos on-the-fly to fit whatever format is best consumed by the device/app you are using. Especially with 1080p content, transcoding is expensive. If your videos are in a format that can be played directly, the server won't have to transcode. For Plex/Web, web-optimized mp4 / h264/ aac videos are best.
..... I'll look into a possible workaround for this.
Anything new?
btw. maybe this is interesting? its for flash9 http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Stage.html#displayState
there is an entry
- To enable full-screen interactive mode, which supports keyboard interactivity, add the allowFullScreenInteractive parameter to the object and embed tags in the HTML page that includes the SWF file, withallowFullScreenInteractive set to "true", as shown in the following example:
...
The problem is that we are not in control of the code running in the swf since we are just using the jwplayer for that end of things. So unless the jwplayer exposes something for us to hook into, it might be impossible.
hey. finally pause is working with space-key. so does that mean everything else (skip etc) is coming too?
You can see the full list of keyboard shortcuts available by pressing ?. As I mentioned previously, these shortcuts will only work in the html5 video player. The Flash video player handles shortcuts separately.
yes, i was talking about the html5 player. but i didnt noticed that the other shortcuts are working already. but they are (for me, on a german keyboard) really weird assigned ..
any chance for self-assign the shortcuts?
thx for your response.
Custom key bindings are definitely possible in the long-term, but probably not something we'll focus on in the short-term.
hmm.. okay... but please keep this in mind.
because, again, for non QWERTY keyboards , the bindings are really really confusing.. and totally different from PHT
Are you talking about the comma, period, [, and ] specifically? Those were taken from the list of PHT shortcuts. https://plexapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201670487-Keyboard-Shortcuts
oh, u are right again. but on PHT the arrow keys are working too. On Plex/Web only the "or" keys are working :)
- ← or , - jump back 15 seconds
- ↑ or ] - jump forward 10 minutes (or to the next chapter, if available)
- → or . - jump forward 30 seconds
- ↓ or [ - jump back 10 minutes (or to the previous chapter, if available)
Basically, i think, the arrow-keys are the only shortcuts i miss... but also the most important for me.
Up and down arrows are used for volume in the web app. I'll look into unifying things a little better.
basically i don't like the PHT shortcuts also :D
the up and down arrows for volume are the best solution, i think (because on QWERTZ keyboards for example + and - are not even close to each other).
short skip on the left and right arrows are the best choice for skipping, imo. And maybe for long skips ALT + Left/Right-Arrows ? Or SHIFT , would be okay also :)
And "S" for Subtitles and "L" for Language would be cool. I don't really get it why S AND L are assigned to subtitles in PHT .. so maybe you can make it right first, and PHT follows ? ^^
But please keep in mind, that non-alphabetical-key are mostly totally different on different keyboard around the world. So whats make sense on a QWERTY keyboard, is mostly weird on another keyboard. Only the arrow-, alphabetical-, SHIFT-, ALT-, capslock-, FN-, TAB- and CTRL-, and Number-Keys are the same everywhere. So i think thats what to prioritize. (for example: 10% skips are on "ALT+5" on QWERTZ keyboards). I think most of the people are used to VLC and their shortcuts .. so maybe thats a good role model.
thx for your attention. you doing a great job with plex/web
oh, and i noticed that the forward/backward skip is not working with chrome in fullscreen...
and on firefox, there no shortcut working in fullscreen. please fix this :(
and please, its 2min work to set the forward/backward function on the arrow keys... ... "," and "." is against 99,9% of all Video Players... in fact, i've never seen this before.... its really annoying. please fix this too
hm... okay... i'm really glad that you are implementing such things. but maybe you mistaken something. the single-arrow-key for switching to the next episode is again against PHT...
different keys in one system is really weird.
besides i thing most people are using the next-episode key more rarely than switching to another point inside an movie/episode/song ... so now i have to press shift + arrow ... and now guess what people choose.. 2 fingers or again one finger on "," and "." ... :(
so please do it right, or let us do it on our own.. (custom shortcuts: like every "real" Video Player .......) :(
Using left and right arrows to navigate the play queue is consistent with music and photos though, which we think is a higher priority than being consistent with PHT.

I must say I agree. It is counter-intuitive to make a lesser used function take up a "precious" single click shortcut as the arrow keys are. Hopefully all shortcuts will become customizable in the future :).
