Feature request: quick rewind

Open freedmand opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Feature request

  • A boolean player controls setting option called "Quick rewind" (or similar) that when enabled causes every pause action to rewind a short amount of seconds (5 or 10 seconds)

Narrative

  • Often users are listening to audiobooks in hands-free settings, where their only effective control is to pause or resume playback (often via a bluetooth headset). If for whatever reason you mishear a word or zone out while listening in a hands-free setting, it can be effectively impossible to trigger a rewind action. This setting would allow the user to quickly rewind by simply pausing and resuming playback.

    GIVEN:

  • The "Quick rewind" setting is enabled in player control settings WHEN:

  • The user presses pause THEN:

  • The book is rewound a few seconds

Design

settingspage

An additional toggle setting on this screen, potentially directly below the "Smart rewind" setting:

Title (en): "Quick Rewind" Default: false Description (en): "Rewind 5 seconds after each pause action"

An alternative to this might be to generalise the "smart rewind" feature and give it 2 settings:

  • After Xs of pause
  • Rewind Ys

In my personal case, the smart rewind doesn't help, I end up rewinding manually a few minutes each time I pick up. But an automated smaller rewind would be appreciated :)
