How to show time/duration on seekbar
Yes, several years later; how is that feature request coming? There really NEEDS to be a way to see the timeline time counter in the player UI, full stop. Its a huge weakness vs the competition.
Not the least of which is for reviews. I automatically assumed that the review360 environment would automatically link reviewer comments and feedback to the exact place/time in the presentation that is active when the reviewer pauses it to make a comment.
Since it doesn't do that, the player UI really needs to have a timestamp for the reviewer to make note of.
Now, it would be great if storyline would have an option for a slide to 'lock its timeline' to a single placed video and - for that slide - the player scrubber controls would inherit the videos exact timeline. Other objects could be placed on the timeline but its length would be locked to the video's length. This would allow for the display of timeline time counter in the player UI
I don't see very many possible use cases where showing the videos own playback controls is any kind of useful - Changing the video's playback time position relative to the overall timeline position is a really bad idea as implimented. It only makes sense if the video is
A: tied to the timeline as I described - in which case, why not just keep it hidden anyway.
B: if the overall playhead is paused whenever a particular video on the stage is playing.
