well done mike... maybe a bit more subtile ? ( 60% transparent or so ? )
maybe also an idea for the sister skin hehe

Hmmm... not sure the best way to go... I tried playing with the transparency and anything lower would be hard to see on a bright background (second pic look at the word left). I could change the text color or add a background image over the video but....
I'll keep playing around and try to use any suggestions I get

I would keep the transparency as is, I agree it might be hard to see on a bright background if its any more transparent. Plus you wouldn't really be watching anything with the text overlaying ontop anyway, so I don't think it's such as huge issue that it's not as transparent/subtle.

My suggestion is to also make it 1 line. So I would only have it above the pause button, instead of separating 42 and minutes left, have it as: 42 minutes left, all on one line. Having it above the pause button will also separate it from all the additional info which is at the bottom as well.

I also think that the time left can just be in minutes. So 2 hours and 32 minutes would turn into: 152 minutes left. At this point if you really wanted to know when the movie would end, you would just glance down below where it says that it would end at 5:22 PM. So I don't think it's as important to break it down to hours and minutes left and it can be just all on one line as X minutes left.

Those are my 2 cents
