RESTful API for simple seek forward/backward for Foobar2000

[planetrocky]

Hi,

It would be amazing to have a method to simply seek forward/backward X seconds of a track.

Foobar2000 has main->Playback->Seek->[Back|Ahead][1s|5s|10s|30s|60s|120s|300s|600s]

I listen to podcasts and often want to rewind, or skip forward.

There is GET /player for player-state, and POST /player, which is possible to use, but requires knowing, volume setting, units, current play position, etc.

An API for something like POST /seek would be awesome :) Then I can easily dedicate two buttons on my Stream Deck to Seek Back and Seek Ahead.

Hi,

POST /player already supports that.

For example for seeking forward for 5s you can use relativePosition property in the request body:

{"relativePosition":5}

All POST /player parameters are optional so you can specify only those you want to change.
