"Go to next frame" stuck
It seems the media control buttons and keyboard shortcuts are having some problems on my system, but only in the forward direction. I can move back by any interval allowed by the buttons or keyboard shortcuts, but the forward intervals don't work properly. Am I alone in this problem?

Re: "Go to next frame" stuck
Several problems are known with respect to media playback on the Mac.
There are 2 variants of these players (see previous message) both with possible glitches.
I don't recall receiving reports on the same problems as you describe. And I can't explain these problems: programmaticaly more or less the same thing happens when stepping forward or backward.
What kind of media files are you using?

Re: Re: "Go to next frame" stuck
It seemed that one of the 3.7.x updates solved my problem, only for it to come back in 3.8.0 on Snow Leopard, though with a slight modification.
Now, the Command+(Right Arrow) keystroke will move the cursor one frame to the right, and then a second time, but it then gets stuck and won't move a third or subsequent time. What's more, the length of the frames/steps is variable, so the first step seems to be one frame (20 ms), but the second step seems to be longer (35 ms).
As for stepping backwards, I seem to be able to do so as many times as I want, but the problem of irregularity applies here, too. Here are some sample steps, in order, all in ms: 54 71 72 72 71 37 72 71.
I've tried using both the Cocoa QT and QuickTime for Java options in the preferences pane. My current system is Mac OS X (10.6), ELAN 3.8.0, and QuickTime Player 10.0 (51). Any ideas on what's up would be great.
Thanks,

Oh, and we're using .mov files.
Re: "Go to next frame" stuck
I ran into the same problem today on a Windows 7 machine running ELAN 3.4.1, and have reported it as a bug. The frame forward command gets stuck when the Edit Preference "Frame forward and frame backward jump to begin of next/prev frame". Uncheck that option, and things work like they are supposed to.
Release of ELAN 4.3.0
