Hi, I need someone to customize an open source media player. I transcribe interviews, and need some thing that will: 1. Play the audio (for example) for 10 seconds, skip back 8 seconds, advance 10 seconds, skip back 8 seconds, and do this until the audio finishes. 2. Play the audio for 5 seconds, pause for 10 seconds, play for 5, pause for 10, etc., until the audio finishes. I need the program to do this automatically. There are several open source players available: [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL] This should be an easy project for a developer. Thanks in advance. David

Hi, Interesting project and I'd like to have a go, but look what VLC says on their dev site: "VLC is a complex program with many dependencies, so minimal command-line experience is required. Also, don't be in a hurry (4 hours is a minimum for the whole process) and don't despair if it doesn't work first time. " So, I know going back 8 seconds then pausing, etc., is a simple algorithm. But in reality it'll take many hours to get everything ready. So if we can agree that's it's not necessarily a fast job (unless we find an easier player - how about a web-based player?), we can discuss realistic $$ figures. I put $250 but it doesn't have to be. I think at best it'll take 5 hours if all goes well, but it could go up to 10. My hourly fee is $22 but I'm available for further discussion. Thanks for considering my services.

Hi, Matt S Rinc here and as long time software developer I am asking for possible idea implementation confirmation by you. While VLC (and other open source media players) can be customized and complied to standalone programs I would use the other way - scripting the player with another program. Tell me if this would be acceptable to you. Now that WinAmp player has lost future support VLC is the way to go. So - do you mostly use Windows or Mac e.g. on what computer would you like this script to run? It is possible to develop a solution for Windows, Mac and Linux but then a lot of additional programming is required (unless so called LUA scripting for VLC can be used for all platforms). Also - do you need to transcribe only MP3 or other formats as well (WAV, M4A etc)? Please expand that too. I will check the controling of VLC player in Windows with a script (that can also be exported as a standalone program so you would have VLC and Windows EXE with input fields to control the duration of playback and rewind interval). I'm in zeitnot with other two projects to finish so can start on Monday/Tuesday. Best Regards, Matt
