Ergonomics change for mpegplayer

(1/2) > >>

Vchat20:
So this has been sort of a minor nag to me and thought I'd bring it up as a proposal for a patch here.

Owning an e200 and having the videos default to landscape mode, the layout of the buttons (up=FFW, down=RW, left=play/pause) is just a tad out of whack. And I am sure a number of other players are the same way that have portrait oriented screens.

Even Microsoft's Zune player corrects this during video playback.

A patch would be pretty simple and something I could whip up in short order. But comes down to if it would be a welcome addition by the masses? I know having the 'new' button usage would probably confuse newbies a bit especially with labelled buttons on the players, but it would otherwise be more 'ergonomic' if you can call it that.

Lemme know your thoughts.

i think this would be a great idea.
this has bugged me for the longest time and i would love it if someone would fix it.

Chronon:
Yes, please do submit a patch. I don't use my Sansa for video but such a change certainly sounds sensible.

Hillshum:
One doesn't need to know C to change a keymap really. You need to be able to compile rockbox though. There's a few plugin keymaps that really bug me so I might post a patch soon.

Are plugin keymaps open for change?

They are open to discussion :)  In the MPEGPlayer case I don't think there would be much of a discussion needed - it seems like a good idea to me.
