Feature request: quick rewind
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
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
Xsof 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 :)
