You can give a list of at most 5 new buttons. Order them based on which ones you want most.

Rules:

  • Do NOT discuss anything else than answering the simple question I asked above.
  • Do NOT give comments about hiding buttons. Everything will be customizable if extra button options will be added in future.
  • Do NOT list more than 5.
  • Do NOT ask when this will be implemented. The answer is "unknown, maybe newer".
  • Do NOT annoy me.

Those who choose the ignore the rules will be blocked permanently.

  • No.1: Toggle repeat mode (ON = Repeat forever, OFF = Do nothing)
  • No.2: Toggle fullscreen mode (useful for people who remove Mouse Double Click as shortcut, because like me still sometimes play Flash games within MPC-HC and spam click a lot)
  • No.3: Fast seek forward (medium - like shortcut in settings)
  • No.4: Fast seek backward (also medium - like shortcut in settings)
    Normally I like to use scroll wheel for fast seeking. But I think this would be useful for people who don't like to use keyboard shortcuts or scroll wheel like me, and instead, like to click buttons
  • No.5: Toggle show/close playlist window (not available if player is handling only 1 file)

I don't know if any of my suggestions may be considered, but thank you regardless. I just saw your TODO to place playback time next to seek bar, that's something godsend for people who like to hide status bar for compact look like me.

1. Audio, Subtitle buttons. Use icon. Text doesn't look good.

2. Info button. This will directly open MediaInfo page.

Image

3. Playlist on/off button.

Image

4. Video frame button.

Image

This button will cycle these 4 options.

Don't open dropdown options. Instead cycle these options on each click.

And I imagine these buttons on the right side of toolbar.

FYI I have some recent code for toolbar improvements. It's not ready to share yet.

I have some ideas written down for the toolbar redesign. I will create a new issue for that soon to discuss that. Including writing a specification for graphic designers.

  • Loading from ./toolbar/[name]/ so multiple toolbars can be bundled and user can choose one in options
  • Each toolbar consists of 8 files: light/dark and in 24/32/48/64 sizes. Having multiple sizes allows better quality and more detail in larger sizes.
  • PNG or SVG. Where SVG allows scaling.
  • Option to center all buttons in middle of toolbar.
  • Toolbar image contains two rows, one for enabled button state and one for disabled/greyed out state. Or on/off for toggles.
  • Two/three generic buttons which allow specifying custom action for both left and right click.
  • Options page to specify which buttons to show (and maybe in which order)(and maybe with empty space separators that can be in the list to group buttons)

Another future idea is ability to choose between different seekbar design styles or color variations.

For example a thin track with round gripper. A modern take on the classic style seekbar. Like in potplayer:
