A screenshot of the seek controls Celluloid offers
SUMMARY
Feature request: currently there is no way to seek a video that is playing in
the slideshow. You can play/pause by pressing the spacebar, but there is no way
to seek forward/backwards in the video using the keyboard. It is possible to
use the scrubber tool at the top, which after [a recent
fix](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497446) can be used to seek to a
certain point in the video, but the scrubber is a small UI element at the top
of the screen and is easy to misclick (which advances to the next slide). It
would be good to have some keyboard shortcuts to seek the video, similar to
what media players like VLC/Celluloid offer (screenshot attached).
Alternatively, it would be amazing if a chosen media player could be used as
the backend player for the videos in the slideshow. So, for instance,
VLC/Celluloid would be used to play the videos, which would mean their keyboard
shortcuts would be usable. I'm not sure how big/difficult of a change this
might be.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an album with multiple videos and pictures
2. Open the slideshow view (F9 or click the slideshow button)
3. Open a slide with the video
OBSERVED RESULT
The video can only be paused using the keyboard. You cannot seek 10s
forwards/backwards, or jump 1 minute ahead, etc.
EXPECTED RESULT
There is a shortcut that can be used to quickly seek to different parts of the
video
