Custom Shortcuts / Overriding Standard Settings

Is it possible to override the shortcuts? EG for the arrows to seek +/- 10 seconds instead of 5?

What shortcuts? I am not aware of any seek +/- 5 seconds buttons that are built-in to our player. Can you send me a link to a page where you are seeing these?

But yes, you can use our Javascript API to potentially create seek buttons for 10 seconds. The code would be something like this:

jwplayer().seek(jwplayer().getPosition()+10);

Hi Todd,

when the focus is on the player press left arrow, right arrow to seek +/- 5 seconds

0 to 9 seeks * 10% (0 = 0 , 1 = 10% etc.)

So these shortcuts must be hardcoded into the player then?

Ah yes, the keyboard shortcuts. Yes, those are hard-coded into the player.

So these cannot be modified? This is a huge disappointment and setback and will prevent us from buying the player and using your site. We need to override the shortcuts but you provide no way of doing so. Since you used anonymous event handlers, you basically backed us into a corner of no customization.
