How can I go forward and back frame by frame in media player classic? (left and right are jumping many seconds!)

I like media player classic because it has built in support for showing milliseconds.

I would like to be able to move frame by frame

I have heard that left and right should move frame by frame, but it's clearly not, it's jumping many seconds

It's MPC version 1.7.10 64bit

Here's a sample mp3 though 11 seconds

enter link description here

If I pause it at 0:00.000 and I push the right arrow then it jumps to 0:05.000 so it jumps 5 seconds!

The solution is to press

• Ctrl+← (left arrow) to jump by just one frame backwards,
• Ctrl+→ to jump forward.

I know the question was about Media Player Classic, but since it stopped development, thought it was worthwhile to point to Media Player Classic - Black Edition which is currently being developed. Just tried it, and it also supports Ctrl+← and Ctrl+→ to frame-step back and forwards.

Edit: There used to be an option to show frames in the playback time, but that appears to be gone. Now instead, if you right-click on the time in the lower-right, a context menu shows a checkbox to display milliseconds.

You need to turn on Turn fast seek off within the options menu.
