#2377 open enhancement

Step Backward (by caching Step Forward frames!)

Description

In https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2005-January/050898.html we see why it is hard to implement Step Backward One Frame.

But I have a new idea: if "." 'Step forward' saved about five latest frames, then when stepping forward, '. . . . . . .' OOPS I WENT TOO FAR, then the user could step back a few frames, because the latest five are saved/cached!

Thanks for the feature suggestion.

Sounds useful, but a feasible implementation would still be hard AFAICT.

You could have it as an option:
[--how-many-step-forwards-frames-to-remember int] (default 0, as one
could say this is quite intensive.)

So if it is more than 0,
and the user hits ".",
then copy the current frame to a file...
