eNES0nsEsK 11 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Could we get swipe gesture functionally in the mobile apps that would enable adjustments of audio volume, screen brightness and playback position?I use VLC on android and they've implemented this well, it's simple, intuitive and a joy use.It's explained here, https://www.vlchelp.com/volume-brightness-seek-gestures-android/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 29000 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi, we used to have these but I took them out because users were complaining of constantly accidentally tripping them. We can find a way to bring them back. I think a circular gesture would be a good compromise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eNES0nsEsK 11 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) OK, totally understand you don't want to annoy people with gestures they don't want.Could you have a "Toggle Touch Gestures" option in the mobile app settings?This could default to being off so people don't trip them accidentally.I like idea of a circular gesture to control playback position. It would be good if it functioned like a jog wheel for video editing.Like this, https://www.amazon.com/Contour-Design-Shuttle-Xpress-Multimedia-Controller/dp/B0001DBEKGAlthough it doesn't need to be that accurate, but could allow quick navigation with a faster gesture, then a more slightly more accurate positioning with a slow gesture.The volume is probably less important to most people because we have easily accessible hardware buttons that can be used.The most useful gesture for me personally would be brightness control. This is tricky to adjust on my Android phone when I'm holding it horizontally and I've started playback I then need to swipe down from the top a few times to get to the brightness slider. Could a two or three fingered vertical swipe be used for this possibly?Anyway, just throwing some ideas around. Thanks for your hard work.

Luke 29000 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes that's possible, but a last resort. A circular gesture shouldn't have a problem of being accidentally triggered therefore it can just always be enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't hate the feature, just the fact it was to easy to hit by accident. However they already said it won't come back in the same form to prevent exactly that issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzramna 1 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Why not Just crate a config into the Android cliente to enable or disable this feature and set the sensibility/activation area instead of remove such usefull feature?
