I'm trying to figure out how to set the side keys (no.'s 4&5) to control short time jumps back & forward in VLC Media Player (ver 3.0.16), both in audio & video.
Previously I was able to via x-mouse whilst retaining the normal functions in browsers & windows navigation, now I'm stuck.
Any clue how to remedy this?
Recently my hard drive crashed & had to switch over to a back-up laptop, making it impossible to find the settings which previously enabled this function.
Mouse is a Onn wireless/blutooth, os Win10 x64.

Re: VLC media player time jump
If you know the keyboard shortcuts for VNC (I'm not sure if they are global or only when the window is active - maybe configurable in VLC itself) then you can use simulated keystrokes in XMBC to send those keys.... If its only when VLC is active, you can setup a profile in XMBC for VLC and setup the button 4 and 5 in there. If they are global, you may need to do it on the default profile, but then that will apply globally to all windows (unless they have their own profile).
I think by default, short jumps left/right are shift+left and shift+right so simkeys would be {SHIFT}{LEFT} and {SHIFT}{RIGHT} probably with method one. You can check all the hotkeys VLC supports (and change them) in the VLC settings -> Hotkeys tab.

Re: VLC media player time jump
I had to redo everything in XMBC, and it was a pain trying to remember the exact simkeys I had set before. What worked was creating a separate profile for VLC in XMBC and setting the side buttons to input the VLC hotkeys manually. On mine, I think short jumps were alt+arrow keys, so it might vary a bit, but tweaking the simkey method made it finally stick.
Also, during this mess, I started cutting some video clips to test stuff, and for that I started using a simple video editing software. If you're messing with video playback and edits too, that one was actually pretty easy to figure out.
