Well I think I got it working partways. Inside my player constructor I added
Qt Code: 
  1. mySpinBox->installEventFilter( this )
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
and this allows me to use the right, left, and space bar like I want to. But the problem I get now is after I load my video, the up and down buttons on the QSpinBox disappear. They are there before I load in the video, but when I load the video, they disappear. Any ideas what would cause these buttons on the QSpinBox to disappear? The textbox portion of the QSpinBox is still there however and I can click just to the right of the box and the buttons still work, they just do not appear on the video player. Thanks!
