Guidelines

Problem Description

The video progress indicator (how much time is elapsed) does not get summoned and display after issuing a rewind () or fast-forward () command, or playback speed adjustment.

Proposed Solution

The video progress indicator should display on any timeline movement, or playback speed adjustment, just like it does in most other video-playing applications, including YouTube web and VLC.

Alternatives Considered

Moving the mouse is the only way I could find to display the video progress indicator.

YT does this after every interaction with the player, e.g. if user presses m to mute. I thinks its best todo the same for accessibility reasons

@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc: Nice! I like how you rename issues. Almost no other project does that. FreeTube is amazing, by the way. It's so much better for watching videos than YouTube web or anything else.
