SMPlayer Support Forum

The hotkeys specific to smplayer (like next video etc) doesn't work after you switched to a new video.

So if you are watching video number one in fullscreen, then use the hotkey 'n' to go to the next one, that hotkey will no longer work. If you however, move the mouse, so that you trigger the floating bar, that re-enables the hotkeys once more. It seems to me that the next video call, should directly enable the hotkeys, or possibly just trigger the floating bar.

The default keys for next and previous video are ">" and "<". They both work for me in fullscreen.

I rebound the keys, since ">" and "<" isn't very well laid out on my keyboard. Could that somehow have something to do with it?

edit: Just to make it clear what I did:

1. Open multiple videos from "open directory"
2. Enter fullscreen
3. Click next hotkey
4. Attempt to seek with arrow keys (those bindings work)
5. Attempt to go to next video (does not work)
6. Move mouse so that floating bar appears
7. Attempt to click next hotkey again (works)

I'm at work now, so I don't have access to my linux desktop, but if anyone needs any more info, I'll gladly supply it.
