Hello,
as a sports fan, knowing the duration of a game (say NBA; NFL) is a major spoiler as based on that duration you immediately start to think it went to overtime or not (a short game = didn't go to OT)... so imagine you watch the game, if it's very close at the end and you already know it didn't went to OT... your experience was kind of ruined. To give an example, someone made a similar request in 2017.
For ages I've been trying to edit the different xlm files and trying to figure out how I can remove the duration of the videos. Additionally, also removing the progress bar entirely --- you simply do not want to know how close you are to the end of a game (remember, some games go to OT).
So far, I've settled on hiding everything by editing some parts on DialogSeekBar.xml; Custom_1109_TopBarOverlay, which is far from ideal as I actually would like to know the elapsed time when I jump ahead 10, 30 secs, etc. I would like to know the elapsed time and would like to see -10,-30 when I seek... without of course seeing the total duration of the video.
An image to exemplify what I am trying to achieve.
1. Hide duration of a video. You don't want the video durations anywhere.
2. Remove Progress bar. You do not want to see if you're very close or very far from the end of the video. Alternatively, keep progress bar, but remove different colours that suggest where you are on the video.
3. When you seek: you want to see if you're seeking 10, 30, 1 min, 3 min. You also want to see the elapsed time.
My ideal idea would be to move just two have two variables visible (on the top left) of the screen when i seek:
- Elapsed time
- Seeking amounts (so you know you're moving back or forward, 10, 30 etc)
I've tried to search everywhere and like I said, I've only been able to remove the bars and duration/elapsed time entirely.
Surely it is possible for the user to remove the duration and keep the elapsed (elapsed time / duration) time as well as removing the progress bar?
Fingers crossed someone more familiar with the skin and different variables can help me understand where the variables are and what changes can be done in order to accomplish what I described.
Thanks in advance for reading.
