May I ask about a feature? When mplayer is in framestep mode or paused,
is it possible for screenshot event not to make mplayer play video again?
Or, it will be good, if screenshot would cause framestep forward. Now if
mplayer paused, after the single screenshot video runs forward. I make
shots from tv-ripped video, and there most frames are blurred greatly by
movement. I would like to have a possibility to make some shots sequentially
on my choice.
