Create a custom rewind button?

I haven't tried this, and it might be a lot of extra work, but one solution would be to divide the timeline for a slide up among several layers.  This way you could set up a system where the user could jump back several seconds and resume from that point by showing that layer and hiding the others.  Just a thought - don't know how workable in your set up.

What is your content that you would have only to scrub back a few seconds? Video, audio, multiple layers?

Marc,

I have thought about doing something like you describe as well as placing markers along the timeline and jumping to those markers but I'm thinking that any such solution will too messy, so I haven't really tried. I want something preferably simple that I can do with the slide master if possible, this keeps the slides neat.  

I'm trying to create custom navigation; preventing fast forwarding while still allowing rewinding. Raul, I want to rewind the timeline regardless of what's on it. Ideally I like something similar to what the Seekbar's present capabilities are with rewinding but I know that's not in the programming yet. Perhaps if I could use the seekbar but prevent fast forwarding that would also do the trick, but again I haven't figured out how to do this and I don't think the software is capable of that either.

OOOps,

It looks as if this question has been asked before and it looks like after a lot of discussion, it was not solved. I'll place the link here for anyone wanting to follow that thread.

I would be great to have this feature. I wonder if anyone made a Feature Request for this?

Hi Vaughan,

I can't think of any examples that allow for rewinding and prevent fast forwarding on the individual slides, although it does sound like a good feature request and not one I remember seeing! 

I am still looking for a solution to this. has anyone found a useful solution?

Hi Julie, 

I haven't seen a lot of other custom rewind buttons, but perhaps you could share a bit more about what you're looking to accomplish and then the community can weigh in with additional ideas and solutions. 

Hi Team

I would like to only have a rewind button and hotspot the seekbar so the learner can't fast forward the video.

Any updates on how I can insert a rewind trigger, Ill attach a screenshot of how I want it to look.

I was able to accomplish this with the SDK. I modified the timeline to allow you to scrub backwards, but not forwards. However, I lost so much of the functionality of the storyline player, and without enough information to rewrite all of the missing pieces, I had to abandon the project. 

The code needed to make this change in the player was really pretty simple. It seems to me that is shouldn't be that difficult for the Articulate engineers to add this as a feature to Storyline.

Hi Simon,

You could place the hotspot or transparent shape (ensure it has a fill and that it's set to a transparent amount of around 99%) over the seekbar element, but not on the play button of the video within your slide. You can't do that same set up on the player seekbar unless you were to look at using the Storyline SDK as Dave mentioned. You can read more about the SDK here. It's not something we can offer support for, and as far as Dave's mention of adding this as a feature you're welcome and encouraged to share your thoughts on that as well in t he form of a feature request here. 

Ashley that's disappointing that after 2 years this hasn't been added to Storyline2 (My organisation paid over $2K to have it installed)  I'm not good with code and can't load additional software onto our Companies server with out IT approval (which takes time).  So I will need to advise my business that it's not possible without additional cast.

Thanks
