No it wasn't. This sort of feature is inherently not possible without
a huge seek-and-decode chain for each step. It will probably never be
implemented in any movie player simply because it doesn't belong. If
you need this function, decode all frames to jpeg files and look at
them with an image browser, or use a specialized nle program.
