1. Allow direct audio/subtitle switching in Blu-Ray Menu mode.
2. Display View: add "Display Lyrics" keyboard shortcut/on-off toggle.
3. JRVR feature similar to madVR's "Smooth Motion".
4. Allow loading .sup subtitles.
5. Option to Disable Time-shift and only enable it instantly when Pause is pressed. Same for the BufferedInternetReader - *.dat.cnk files, which I assume act as Time-shift files, even though they are stored in the Temporary Files location.
6. URL play: Missing Tags.
7. URL play: Timeshift seems to only support Pause/Play, no back/forward.
8. Do not overwrite the Windows default file Type description, or alternatively make it more descriptive.
9. A video fullscreen toggle hotkey, same as pressing the top-right maximize button. No Theater View, no other intermediate states. Switch to fullscreen and back (windowed Display View) with the same hotkey.
10. Audio playback: rewind/forward with arrow keys only (without CTRL - same as in video playback)
11. Ability to add blank/pause "videos" in a playlist, with a user-set duration. More advanced similar requests here.
12. Option to switch light/dark skin automatically based on system/OS theme + option to set MC default light/dark skin (which would couple nicely with the auto-switch).

Good idea. I added it for the next build of MC34.

6. URL play: Missing Tags.

This should work in MC34. We were not handling https in some cases.

Ctrl+3 switches in and out of display view.

Thanks for the fixes. I hope you can also at least consider no. 2, which seems fairly simple to implement.

Ctrl+3 switches in and out of display view.

This sometime works as I'd hope in this request i.e. switch between windowed and maximized mode (which is essentially full-screen in MC). I assume both of these modes (windowed/maximized) retain the Display View.

However, other times pressing Ctrl+3 switches between Display View and Standard View which is quite different behavior. It is a bit inconsistent.

I am not sure if this is what you're looking for but the Showtime feature does exactly what the thread you linked to was requesting.

[audioriver]

You are correct. Had to search a bit for some documentation (it's not on the Wiki, I think) but found it here:

Unfortunately, it seems it's not for Standard View.

Matt, perhaps this was forgotten? MC 34.0.19 still needs CTRL+arrow.

It works.

Matt, perhaps this was forgotten? MC 34.0.19 still needs CTRL+arrow.

It's working for me.

It's setup like this:
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Right" Command="10008" Param="0" TranslateFlags="17" />
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Left" Command="10009" Param="0" TranslateFlags="17" />

Those flags mean it won't fire if edits, comboboxes, IE, other rich controls, etc. are focused.

[Matt]

It was also changed so ctrl shouldn't be needed recently:

34.0.10 (3/18/2025)
Changed: Made the left and right keys without control down seek audio while it's playing.

[audioriver]

Not sure if I have to manually change something, but for me:

Standard and Mini-view: CTRL+arrows needed
Display View: only arrows

If something like a list has the focus it will take the arrow keys.

If you click the art in Playing Now for example the arrows alone should work.

[audioriver]

Please see the attached. There is nowhere I can click in the displayed Audio/My Audio View and Playing Now/Audio Zone, to activate "arrows-only mode". I would expect it to be possible by clicking somewhere in the top, greened area.

It would make sense to also have it activated right after playback starts. In text lists (as the one in the screenshot), the left-right arrows currently behave exactly as the up-down ones. They are duplicates. The exception would be cover/album/image-only lists where left-right have a purpose, alongside up-down.

I only managed to use this by going over to Playing Now/Overview and clicking on the cover. Only then will the arrows work, but this is impractical. I never use the Overview section anyway.

[Matt]

It routes to the playback. So use Display View or click on the display window to use just the arrows.

Just added this one before I saw your post
