Let us be able to stop/pause media playback within OBS.

Hi guys,

After having enough crashing and technical issues with Xsplit, I have decided to move to OBS for our weekly video game podcast. And while 95% of what I do in Xsplit I can replicate in OBS there is one thing I cannot do which is not a small deal for us. We can't pause and seek in media files we play.

During our show we play videos, be it game trailers or game footage of a game we're interviewing a developer on. In Xsplit I have full control over the playback. In OBS you can only loop the video and stop it by turning off the source.

Please add pause and seek capability to your video media source?

Thanks!

This pending update is very useful. I downloaded the windows binaries from the link above, and it's a bit finicky (the playback controls sometimes become "disassociated" from the media, and I can't seem to get them to re-link, but it's going the right direction.

Thanks for the work on this enhancement.

Oh nice! I will check this build out. Just curious, and I apologize for the "newb" question, if the build isn't stable enough for me to use in production I simply uninstall it and reinstall a stable build?

Generally speaking we don't recommend using non-stable releases for production. You're free to do whatever you like at your own risk.

Hey OBS guys,

Just wanted to say, great job on the media controls added in new build. It is 100% what I have been looking for, and now OBS is perfect!!

Thanks!
