Hi there,

I'm currently stuck at a lesson and tried to pin the exact two bars with the loop-handles above the video-scrubber to play along with the hard part and I find it really hard to hit the beginning and end of the bars.

I therefore suggest to include an "A-B"-loop button, similar to the ones you find on bigger cd-players. Pressing it the first time will move the start-slider of the video-scrubber to the current videoframe, the second press will move the end-slider to the current frame and jump the video to the start-slider. This would really ease up the process of repeating certain parts of the video. Should be really easy to implement and would help a lot.

I also miss a normal "repeat on/off"-Button for video and backtrack-playback to enable/disable the autolooping.

Of course, it's always best to first practice at slower rates and since the backtrack-player has no loop at all, I suggest to (a) make the backtracks downloadable again (perhaps I'm just not finding the spot to download them anymore?) and/or ( create the "A-B"-looper to the backingtracks-controls as well.

Feedback appreciated. =)

Regards,
Lars

I'm not sure how difficult this is to implement, but it's a good suggestion.

Seems like a good idea! Loop function could be more precise! But I don't know how hard is to develop such feature!

The development is quite easy, since the basic functions to repeat a certain part of a video are already there. Only thing that would need to be done is to get the current video position and set the start / stop-marker to that position. Ten lines of code max for the logic and a few more for the button.
