[MPlayer-users] per-frame seeking in AVI files

it was LONG time ago, the core changed too lot...
anyway it was a 5-minute hack, just escaped from pause loop if space was
pressed, but keep pause flags set so after displaying a frame it got paused
again. tricky, ehh?
(and of course it was forward only)

as mjpeg files have keyframes at every frame, it is possible to implement.

for everything.
audio is buffered, and keep it sync with single frames played at
unpredictable speed and direction is a very bit hard.

what about sponsoring development? :)
