Feature description

Hi! I just realized my Tibbi Gallery hadn't updated in a year and found out why 😅 I have here only one reason left why I can't delete all other gallery apps on my phone:

The seeking in videos is not precise, definitely not enough for frame-by-frame. Some examples that emerge and break the seeking, making frame-by-frame seeking impossible:

  • easiest to test while dragging the seek bar: you can only seek in 1 second intervals or larger. In some videos (and all short videos) this makes seeking impossible (video sets/resets to wrong seek locations). (possibly related to this bug)
  • in long videos the frame seeking is definitely not precise, because it becomes "too sensitive". In samsung apps, you can while drag-seeking, move your finger upwards to adjust/"slow down" the seek speed until it becomes frame-by-frame.
  • if the video is paused, seeking will automatically resume playing which makes frame-by-frame seeking impossible.
  • etc.

The one request / task is:

  • Implement frame-by-frame support for your seeking bar, equivalent to modern gallery apps.

Why do you want this feature?

When I work with action shot videos that require precise seeking / inspection, and drag-seeking "frame by frame manual drag-playback" back and fourth, I can't use this app, and have to go back to the stock gallery or the stock video player. :(

There are multiple requests. Please split it into separate issues.

These are all interconnected and would be pretty confusing technically to split them. I would have to reference each of these into each of the other to provide context and explain how they depend on / fit together... Also pretty spammy. You can, below this, create separate tasks depending on how devs decide to split the work. But the context / feature is this ticket.

We aren't a company that has an internal backlog of tasks. We are community-driven and everything's transparent here on GitHub. These three are independent issues, and we'd prefer them separate, so different people can work on it. Thanks!

I fixed it, thank you, good luck with your non-subtask system guys, have a nice day. 😊
