Seek single frame

[fdellwing]

Youtube allows to seek through single frame with , and .. This seems to be very complicated to implement because the math relies on the frame rate of the video.

I just wrote some code that seeks single frames for those key bindings, to use it add the script below to the script.js and it will work, made it work only when the video is paused, adjust the 0.01 to control the speed, you can even hold to move, and it has limits so the user can't go above the duration of the video or below

document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
  if (!video.paused) return;
  let currentTime = video.currentTime;
  if (e.code === 'Comma') {
    currentTime -= 0.01;
    if (currentTime < 0) currentTime = 0;
  } else if (e.code === 'Period') {
    currentTime += 0.01;
    if (currentTime > video.duration) currentTime = video.duration;
  }
  video.currentTime = currentTime;
})

BTW: the timeline also updates itself
